Fundraising plays a crucial role in supporting diaper banks and organizations that help families in need.

While national policies and large-scale initiatives are vital in fighting poverty, it's often the grassroots efforts—community-led diaper drives and local donation campaigns—that create immediate, tangible change for families in need.
