Help us celebrate our 5th Birthday! 

We wish we could celebrate our birthday in person with you, but due to restrictions around social gatherings and in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we’ve created a celebratory to-go version! We hope you’ll enjoy this fabulous portable party at your convenience while still changing the bottom line for families in need. (Purchasers must be 21+) All proceeds will go towards our mission of eliminating diaper need and period poverty in the Greater Cincinnati area.

COVID-19 UPDATE–Volunteer shifts open!

We are thrilled to be able to start welcoming small volunteer groups back to our warehouse, effective immediately. Our diaper distribution numbers are through the roof, with more requests coming in each week from around the Greater Cincinnati Area. We have a lot of new safety measures and policies in place (think social distancing, gloves, masks, etc.) and the same delicious coffee (and creamer!) you’re used to. Head to our volunteer calendar to register for an open wrapping spot today! We’ve missed you all and can’t WAIT to see your beautiful faces again!

*Please note our kids’ room is currently closed. Volunteers 12 and older only please!*

What Is Diaper Need?

Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby clean, dry and healthy, and it’s a reality in our city. There are over 16,000 diaper-wearing children in the Greater Cincinnati area experiencing diaper need each month. At an average rate of six diapers per day per child (and more than double that for newborns), diaper-wearing children in poverty in the United States require more than 5.8 billion diapers annually to keep them clean, dry and healthy. For this reason, we started the only diaper bank serving the entire Greater Cincinnati area to fill the diaper need gap in our community. By assisting families during what can be one of the most challenging times in a parent’s life, we’re working to build a strong community for the future.

The facts are staggering: 
Every day, 1 in 3 families in America struggle to afford diapers for their children.

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank is your local diaper bank that allows you to donate diapers to help babies in need.

The Mission

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank partners with local social service agencies to provide free diapers to low-income families while raising awareness of the basic health need for diapers. Our vision is to eliminate the existence of diaper need in our community so that ALL babies have a chance to be healthy, happy, and safe.
