What Does PDX Diaper Bank Do?
We Work to Provide Diapers to Families in Need
Improving the Lives of Babies & Seniors
In collaboration with our partner agencies, PDX Diaper Bank provides diapers and diapering supplies to low-income families with young children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities living in Portland and the surrounding areas.
The average cost to diaper a child is $1200 annually, which is a financial hardship for 1 in 2 American families (source: The NDBN Diaper Check 2023). There are no government programs to support parents with the high cost of diapers – these supplies are not covered by WIC or SNAP. PDX Diaper Bank distributes both cloth and disposable diapers to the community in order to bridge this service gap.
