Imagine the stress of not being able to buy diapers for your little one. In today’s America, one in three families faces this harsh reality. Yes, you heard that right—one in three!
“Diaper need” refers to the insufficient supply of diapers to keep a child clean, dry, and healthy. Without a proper supply, children miss out on early childhood education programs, and this can prevent parents from going to work since most childcare centers require parents to provide a day’s worth of diapers. It’s a significant issue, but thankfully, we can all pitch in to make a difference.
Huggies has been tackling this diaper dilemma for years. As a founding sponsor of the National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) since 2010, they’ve donated over 200 million diapers and wipes. To celebrate Diaper Need Awareness Week, they’ve made it super easy for everyone to help out.
If you’re already using Huggies diapers, you probably have the Huggies Rewards app. If not, it’s a breeze to download! Once you have it, simply navigate to “Redeem Points” and choose “Donate diapers to babies in need.” Your accumulated points can go directly to help families who need them the most.
But wait, there’s more! This week, every time you tweet with the hashtag #NoBabyUnhugged, Huggies will donate diapers to Baby2Baby, which is a part of the NDBN. Talk about turning your social media scrolling into a charitable act!
The National Diaper Need Network is filled with resources to help you assist others. Spreading the word is invaluable. Do you have friends whose kids have outgrown their diapers? You can donate those leftover diapers—even if the package is open (just ensure they’re in the original packaging). Head over to the National Diaper Bank Network to find a nearby diaper bank program for drop-off. And don’t forget to share this info in your Facebook mom groups; many parents don’t realize that open packages can also be donated!
Just one small act of kindness can spark a wave of hope. Your contributions, no matter how small, can make a significant impact, and it’s never been easier to help.
At Huggies, they believe in the Power of Hugs. This simple, loving gesture is proven to support babies’ emotional and physiological well-being.
