Diaper need is a prevalent issue, especially in the wake of historic inflation, systemic racism, and job security. Over the past 2+ years, WestSide Baby’s responded to this ongoing crisis by increasing our distribution of diapers by over 60% to a growing network of partner organizations providing critical care to our community. The Bulk Diaper Program is WestSide Baby’s method of distribution to address diaper need with an emphasis on equity and innovation. This program is designed to address diaper need at a large scale in hard-to-reach communities by removing barriers and obstacles for organizations and the families they serve. ---- This week is Diaper Need Awareness Week – learn more about our Bulk Distribution program: https://lnkd.in/g5cCq9wR There is no better time to tell a friend about the issue of diaper need in our community, and to be part of the solution by supporting WestSide Baby and other diaper banks - donate now: https://lnkd.in/gBrh6uu5

In launching WestSide Baby in 2001, Donna Pierce volunteered for five years working toward a dream where all children would have their basic physical needs met, enough diapers, food, adequate clothing and safe places to sleep, ride and eat. The Donna Pierce Service Award is a special way to thank and recognize individuals, groups, corporations, community organizations or foundations that have provided extraordinary service, commitment and support to WestSide Baby.
