Diaper Bank
ALL BABIES SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN DIAPERS.
The Junior League of Pensacola serves to combat diaper need within Escambia and Santa Rosa counties by supplying diapers to programs in our community. Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby clean, dry, and healthy. A Diaper Bank collects, stores, and distributes free diapers and wipes to organizations and families that are in need.
Supporting the Diaper Bank enables our volunteers to purchase, store, wrap, transport and distribute diapers and wipes to those in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
Special Thank You to Fox 10 for having our Diaper Bank Chair, Melissa Holzgrefe on December 1st to discuss this weekend’s Diaper Drive-Thru event.
