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.

At our recent Diaper Drive-thru event, it was rain or shine that day but a powerful event it still was. We handed out 25,775 diapers and 39,150 wipes to 435 children across 211 families. Many children will have access to clean diapers and wipes this holiday season thanks to our volunteers, partners, and sponsors.

We are especially grateful to our sponsors – Thompson Foundation, Sam’s Club, Wal-Mart, Aaron Erskine, Goldring Gulf, and Subway (Davis Highway) – for supporting this event, The National Diaper Bank Network, and Junior League of Pensacola!

We continue to need your help.

DIAPER NEED FACTS

According to the National Diaper Bank Network:

We can provide support year-round with our community partners by providing additional diapers and wipes so they are able to provide access to these basic needs to more children and families in our community. 7550 diapers distributed and 3,400 wipes to organizations such as Healthy Start in both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, Help Me Grow, First City Outreach, & Children’s Home Society.

Over the past year, we have to give thanks to our in-kind sponsors: Gulf Coast Kid’s House for the diaper donation, Hattie M Wiggins Beacon of Light Inc., Kendra Scott in Cordova Mall, Titanium Wireless, A+ Mini Storage of Downtown Pensacola for the use of their box truck. Also to Subway, Papa John’s, & Goldring Gulf Distributing for feeding & hydrating our volunteers during our distribution events.

Thank you to Pensacola Catholic High School, Navy Federal Credit Union, Pensacola Young Professionals, Pensacola Lamplighters, Inc., Greater Little Rock Baptist Church Young Adult Ministry, Sunshine Health, and Junior League members for their volunteer shifts to help prepare for these distribution events.

These events are great opportunities for the community to come together and ensure that every child has access to diapers and wipes.
