Why Cloth Diapers?

Diapers that never run out

Families in the lower income brackets can spend up to 13.9% of their post-tax income on diapers (National Diaper Bank).  This can cause severe financial strain on the family and force them to make choices between clean diapers and food, clothing, or other necessities.  Diaper costs cannot be subsidized by government assistance programs (such as WIC or SNAP).  This is why it is so important to connect these families to resources that can help.  Disposable diapers run out, and they run out often, and disposable diaper banks don't always have the size needed for every family that comes in.  

​

Cloth Diaper Initiative provides a kit of reusable cloth diapers to any family that asks for them.  We do not require proof of income to assist.  Our diaper kits are not the most fancy of the modern cloth diapers, but they absorb well and we even have options that are easily hand washed for families without access to a washing machine.  We will provide diapers and instruction on diaper use to any family who needs clean diapers!
