Idaho Diaper Bank

Why Diapers?

Diaper Need is a silent crisis. If a family is food insecure and has a baby or toddler in diapers, they most likely are also diaper insecure. Diapers can’t be purchased with food stamps or WIC. Diapers are expensive and cost over $100 a month per child. With nearly half of children in Idaho under the age of three living in families struggling to make ends meet, there are over 43,000 babies in families likely struggling to provide basic necessities like food, shelter and hygiene.

The consequences of diaper need are many, with health concerns, delaying development, and maternal depression being just a few.

At Idaho Diaper Bank, we’re dedicated to ensuring that every baby in our community feels comfortable and cared for. With nearly half of our little ones living in families surviving paycheck to paycheck, we’re committed to providing essential diapers to bridge this gap. Our mission is simple: to ensure that every child has access to this basic necessity, supporting families and giving every baby a healthy start in life.

Our Mission:

Building stronger, healthier families in Idaho by providing access to basic hygiene to keep babies clean, dry, healthy, and happy.

Our Vision:

An Idaho where our communities band together to ensure that every baby has their basic needs met.
