In normal times, one in three U.S. families struggle to purchase diapers. As the impact of the COVID-19 crisis deepens, Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank has seen an increase in need of over 50,000 diapers per month in the Cincinnati tri-state area alone.
Huggies® is stepping up with #HelpingHugs and during the month of August, Huggies® will match $1 to $1 donations made to Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank* up to $25,000.
*Huggies will match financial donations to the Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank between 8/3/2020 – 8/30/2020 up to $25,000 total.
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!*
purchase emergency diapers! Register to VolunteerDiaper 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 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.
