Our Goals

7 of 8

How you can get involved

    • Help us spread awareness about diaper need. Diaper banks help fill the gap for families, but we'd like to see diaper tax eliminated in Arkansas as it has been in other states.

​

    • Large donations from diaper companies help us meet the increasing demand for diapers so that every child can stay clean and dry.
    • Donations from individuals go toward the purchase of diapers from our partners at a deeply discounted rate.
