Building better futures from the bottom up.
One in two U.S. families struggle to provide enough diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy. We invite you to join us as we strive to make a difference within our community, one diaper at a time.
Partner Agency Spotlight
We want to highlight one of our outstanding partner agencies! Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County has two programs in particular that we support: The Neighborhood Navigator program, Empowering Growth and Educating Mothers to Succeed, (EGEMS) which focuses on reducing infant mortality, and Healthy Families America which is a home visiting program that serves prenatal through age 3. Case workers have access to our diapers and they distribute 50 diapers per baby per month. If you know someone who needs help with resources, lives in Montgomery county and is pregnant or have a baby under age 3 please have them call 937-496-7718 for assistance.
We also wanted to give a special thanks to Requette L, the Department’s Maternal and Child Health Senior Manager! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thank you so much to everyone who donated.
Congratulations to Kurt Stedje for winning the bourbon basket!

Host a diaper drive
Organize a diaper drive to make a positive impact! Get your friends, family, colleagues and fellow community members involved to help collect diapers for babies in need!
We’ve distributed over
1,285,000
diapers so far and this is just the beginning!
Dayton Diaper Depot distributed its one-millionth diaper to a client served by the Women's Center of Ohio in Dayton on March 25, 2025
Why diapers?
Diapers are not covered by government safety net programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and WIC.
Not having enough diapers, unfortunately, means parents are forced to leave their child in a soiled diaper for longer periods of time. This will lead to diaper rash and infections.
57% of parents missed work or school because they were unable to provide the required diapers to their child care center.
You all never cease to inspire us.
We can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate all the support our community has offered and continues to offer. Our team is proud to call Dayton home and we are excited to see what the future has in store, especially with all the passionate people stepping up to help.
Taking action
Keep an eye out for upcoming events! Our team puts the fun in fundraising initiatives. We find new ways to unlock funds that allow us to pursue our mission to provide sustainable access to diapers while empowering and educating our community.
