Founded in 2004, The Diaper Bank of Connecticut centralizes the fundraising and distribution of free infant and toddler diapers, youth incontinence supplies, period products, and adult incontinence supplies to low-income families in Connecticut through existing service providers, including local food pantries, soup kitchens, daycare centers, social service agencies and shelters.
The nonprofit serves as a model for like-minded organizations across the country. The Diaper Bank of Connecticut has distributed more than 31 million free diapers to poor and low-income families through its extensive Diaper Distribution Network (DDN) of more than 100 agencies throughout CT. The Diaper Bank collects diapers and cash donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and other sources for the bulk purchase and distribution of diapers, which are then distributed through the DDN. All of the families we serve are low-income.
The Diaper Bank of Connecticut is governed by a volunteer board of directors and staffed by 11 employees. We have an active volunteer program that assists with sorting and repacking, ranging from girl scouts, to high school and university students, to community organizations and corporations.
