Every baby needs diapers, but not every family can afford them. Because diapers aren’t covered by most assistance programs, families are often left to fill the gap on their own. Demand remains high while our diaper inventory is running low—especially newborn, size 5, and size 6 diapers. Please give now to help meet this urgent need.
You can make a direct impact by donating unopened packages of diapers. Our greatest needs are newborn, size 5, and size 6.
Bring donations to United Way Fox Cities during business hours. Or, from July 6-27, look for drop-off sites at Festival Foods in Appleton, Kimberly, Menasha, and Neenah.
Organize a diaper drive with your workplace, group, or community. It’s a simple way to make a meaningful impact, and we’ll help you get started.
Reach out and we’ll help you plan your drive.
The Kimberly-Clark Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank works to increase access to diapers, period products, and adult incontinence products so all can thrive.
1 in 2 American families struggle with diaper need (not having enough diapers for their baby). The groundbreaking Every Little Bottom Study, commissioned by Kimberly-Clark’s Huggies® brand, revealed this critical need, showing that many families struggle to afford diapers.
The Kimberly-Clark Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank helps local families care for their babies by providing diapers, a basic need essential to a child’s health and a family’s stability. This impact is made possible by a community working behind the scenes. VPI provides warehouse space to keep operations running, distribution partners ensure diapers reach families across the region, volunteers repackage bulk donations into family-ready bundles, and donors make it possible to offer this support at no cost.
The need is real. 1 in 4 parents experiencing diaper need miss work or school because they do not have enough diapers to leave their child at childcare.
The diaper bank collects, stores, and helps partner agencies distribute diapers to families that need them. Diapers are obtained through financial donations and local community diaper drives.
Diaper donations are inventoried and stored at VPI, Inc. Once inventoried, they are transferred to local community agencies for distribution to other nonprofit agencies or directly to families and children who qualify for services.
In some households, a baby may be in a single diaper all day, increasing the risk of health problems, from skin disease to hepatitis. Access to a sufficient supply of diapers is essential for the health of our Fox Cities infants, but too many people do not have the resources to adequately provide for this basic need.
A 2024 report reveals that 46% of U.S. families with children under age 4 now experience diaper insecurity, a significant increase from previous years. The consequences of diaper insecurity extend far beyond the changing table:
If you reside in the service area, the diaper bank could be a resource for your family. Find out by calling United Way’s 211 resource line. 211 is free, confidential, and available 24/7.
Diapers collected and purchased through the Kimberly-Clark Eastern Wisconsin Diaper Bank are distributed through local partner agencies. To receive diapers, individuals must first apply for and qualify for services with one of these organizations.
Diapers are provided at no cost to eligible families. The Diaper Bank is currently stocked with newborn and sizes 1–6; however, availability may vary by agency based on demand. We encourage you to check directly with your local agency for the most up-to-date inventory.
