Families caring for infants and children with disabilities or medical needs often require more diapers than average—sometimes up to 12 per day. Yet they also face higher caregiving costs.

Diaper need doesn’t only affect urban populations. Families in rural areas often face unique challenges, including lack of local diaper banks and limited access to public transportation. In areas where big-box stores are far away, diapers can cost significantly more. And since rural communities often have fewer support organizations, diaper distribution is limited.
