HELP OUR BABIES GET CLEAN DIAPERS
Our Community Infant Diaper Distribution Program called “We Love Babies Free Diaper Program” provides free diapers to families in need in our communities in Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, who are experiencing diaper need for their little ones who cannot afford to go without diapers. We Love Babies program addresses the needs of a teeming population of members of our communities who are experiencing hardship in the form of diaper need. Diaper need simply means the struggle to provide babies with clean and dry diapers that are necessary for them to grow and thrive.

The need for diapers is tremendous—a healthy child will wear an average of 50 diapers a week.
WHY DONATE DIAPERS?
Diapers are Expensive
Diapers are not cheap. Diapers are expensive—they can cost $100 or more a month. Diapers cannot be obtained with food stamps or WIC because they are classified with cigarettes, alcohol and pet food as “disallowed purchases.” As a result, parents in need try to make do without or by stretching their supply by leaving babies in dirty diapers longer or by reusing used an unsanitary diapers. Diapers are a small thing but they can impact big things.
Diaper Needs in the U.S. are Huge, but Largely Unmet
The need for diapers is tremendous—a healthy child will wear an average of 50 diapers a week. That’s approximately 2,600 diapers a year for each child. And with more than 46% of the nation’s children under age three living in poverty level or low-income families; there are approximately 5.9 million children who could use help with diapers. Diaper banks, through government social service agencies, make diapers available to families in need, but these meet only a fraction of the need. Moreover, many families in need of diapers are unable to engage with and/or obtain diapers from social services agencies. Thus, the need to distribute diapers to needy families within our communities in less threatening environment has never been more.

Everyone in need is eligible to receive free diapers through We love babies program. For over 3 years now, our community diaper program distributes hundreds of diapers to individuals in need free of charge, no questions asked. We only ask that you be a PG County resident.
