Idaho Diaper Bank hosts event to increase diaper supplies for families in need

IDAHO, USA —

Idaho Diaper Bank (IDB) has an upcoming event to fill their warehouse with diapers for families in need. 

IDB said that their inventory is currently critically low and that diaper prices have increased as much as 20% causing hardship for families. 

According to IDB, a common consequence of poverty is that trouble accessing diapers for families causing physical, mental, and economic hardships on families and their children. As inflation continues to rise, there are more families in need and diaper bank supplies have been diminished in recent months. 

IDB hopes that their upcoming event will raise awareness and increase inventory at the diaper bank. 

The event runs from September 24 to October 2 as part of National Diaper Need Awareness Week.
