Clean Diapers for Utah Families in Need
About us
Did you know our safety-net programs do not cover the cost of diapers? That's despite a monthly cost of over $100 per month per family per child. The Utah Diaper Bank distributes over 70,000 diapers every month to community partners for families in need. The Utah Diaper Bank was founded in 2012 by a few concerned individuals who saw a community need for an organized approach to collecting and distributing Diapers. The first awareness of this need surfaced in 2010 when a call went out from local television and radio stations to fill an urgent need of the local shelters for diapers. Over the next two years donations to the shelters continued on a personal basis, but in May of 2012 the local television stations once again broadcast an urgent need for diapers. It was from this second call for aid that the resolve was formed to “Do something about this ongoing problem” Initial research found that there was already a loosely organized group of diaper banks in thirty- two states but Utah was not one of those states. It was with this resolve and information that the decision was reached that Utah should join the other thirty-two states and have its own organized diaper bank
