                                    Atlanta Diaper Relief - Category: Poverty, Children: Atlanta, GA

                                    Picture
                                    One in three American moms struggle to provide their babies with a basic essential-diapers. This is called diaper need, and there's very little help or public resources that address this issue. For instance, food assistance programs like food stamps and WIC focus solely on food and nutrition and don't cover diapers.That's why diaper banks like Atlanta Diaper Relief are so critical. Similar to food banks, we will collect diapers and distribute them to daycare centers and local social service agencies - such as women's shelters and food pantries - that, in turn, give them to families in need. Usually, the diapers are collected through diaper drives and fundraising events.
