Why donate?
Diaper need is a serious issue affecting many families who struggle to afford enough clean diapers for their babies. Unlike food assistance programs, diapers are rarely covered by government aid, leaving parents to make difficult choices between basic necessities. Donating money to diaper banks helps provide a reliable supply of diapers to families in need, supporting children's health, comfort, and well-being while reducing stress on caregivers. Even a small financial contribution can make a meaningful difference in a family's daily life.

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
1,830,000
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. With your support we look forward to celebrating our two-millionth diaper soon.
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.
