Did you know?

• According to a new study, 1 in 3 American moms are in diaper need – they struggle to provide diapers for their babies. These mothers have had to cut back on food, utilities like heat or electricity, or child care in order to provide diapers.
• Other basic needs like food are covered under government sponsored programs; however, moms and babies who need diapers fall into a coverage gap. And, as a result,
• One in five moms in diaper need say they run out of money to purchase diapers, and
• Nearly one in five moms in diaper need have extended the amount of time they leave their babies in wet or soiled disposable diapers – in extreme cases, moms have cleaned out and reused wet or soiled diapers.

What this means. Babies kept in wet, dirty diapers for extended periods of time has both health and emotional implications. And, moms and families may be forced to miss work or school because some day care centers do not accept children without an adequate supply of diapers.

How we’re Helping. The Junior League of Kane & DuPage Counties, Inc. (JLKD) is proud to partner with the Huggies® Every Little Bottom program to raise awareness about diaper need and to help address this need in our community and across the U.S. Over the next several months, we will be promoting the program and holding diaper collections to actively assist these families in need. Participation in the Huggies® Every Little Bottom program is a wonderful way to further our JLKD Mission to impact the lives of children at risk.
