New Haven Diaper Bank

The Diaper Bank’s Mission Statement is threefold in scope: to ensure that all families living in poverty have an adequate supply of diapers for their infants and toddlers; to raise community awareness that "basic human needs" include diapers but that these needs are not being met for children living in poverty; and to advocate for policy reform so that diapers are included in the definition of and provision for the "basic human needs" of families. More than 60 social service agencies make up our nationally recognized Diaper Distribution Network, efficiently and effectively distributing the diapers to the most needy families in their service communities, as determined by a rigorous set of qualifications determined by The Diaper Bank in consultation with our board of directors, professional advisors and our partnership agencies and codified through our Agency Advisory Council (AAC).
