Imagine being unable to provide diapers for your baby. Today in America, one in three families faces this dire situation known as “diaper need.” This term refers to the insufficient supply of diapers necessary to keep infants clean, dry, and healthy. The implications are far-reaching: without adequate diapers, children are barred from early childhood education programs, and without childcare, many parents find it impossible to work.
How You Can Help
The good news is that we can all contribute to solving this issue. For years, Huggies has been at the forefront of the fight against diaper need, becoming the founding sponsor of the National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) in 2010. Since then, they’ve donated over 200 million diapers and wipes. As part of Diaper Need Awareness Week, Huggies has streamlined the process for you to get involved.
If you are already a Huggies user, you likely have the Huggies Rewards app. If not, it’s simple and free to download. Once installed, head to the “Redeem Points” section and select “Donate diapers to babies in need.” Your rewards points can be transformed into much-needed assistance for families in need.
Get Involved on Social Media
Additionally, there’s an opportunity to help right from your phone! This week, every tweet using the hashtag #NoBabyUnhugged will result in Huggies donating diapers to Baby2Baby, a partner of the NDBN.
Resources for Assistance
The National Diaper Need Network offers a variety of resources for those looking to assist others. Spreading the word can make a significant difference. Do you know any parents whose children have outgrown their diapers? You can donate unused diapers to a local diaper bank, and even open packages can be accepted as long as they’re in their original packaging. Visit the National Diaper Bank Network to find a drop-off location near you. Sharing this information in your social circles, especially in Facebook groups for parents, can enlighten many who might not know that open packages can be donated.

One small act of kindness can create a ripple effect of hope. Your contributions, no matter how small, can accumulate and make a real difference.
