JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Diaper Bank for Northeast Florida is joining banks nationwide to participate in the World’s Largest Diaper Drive 2023, a one-week event that will assist tens of thousands of mothers in the community who do not have access to fresh diapers.
From May 1-6, the nationwide initiative to collect over 2 million diapers will be led by Bottoms Up Diaper Bank in Columbus Ohio
The goal of Diaper Bank of Northeast Florida is to collect 10,000 diapers for Northeast Florida families who cannot afford to purchase enough to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy.
Here’s how you can help:
1) Purchase diapers (any size, any brand) at your preferred retail store or conveniently online via our Amazon or Walmart Wishlist.
2) Drop off diapers at one of our community drop-off locations listed below from May 1 through May 6.
3) Host your own diaper drive. Ask your friends, family or coworkers to get involved.
4) Feel good about helping alleviate diaper needs for Northeast Florida families.
