Many babies are forced to stay in diapers for days at a time - increasing the risk of diaper rash\, infections\, neglect and even child abuse. \n\n \n\nWhen families can't afford diapers\, they are faced with a choice between buying diapers and paying for food\, rent or utilities like heat. That's a choice no parent should ever face. \n\n \n\nSince 2012\, the Flint diaper Bank has been working to deliver diapers to families who otherwise would be forced to go without. We coordinate the purchase of diapers below cost\, deliver them to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan and distribute them through 28 non-profit agencies throughout Genesee County. \n\n \n\nOur goal is to collect enough money through sponsors\, donations and grants to provide one million diapers each year to needy families in every corner of our community. And thanks to some of our generous sponsors\, we have been able to maintain that commitment for the past ten years - even throughout the pandemic. The Flint Diaper Bank operations with zero administrative costs. Every penny raised goes to our cause. Every diaper stays in our community. \n\n \n\nWe are asking you to be part of our mission.
