New data shows families in Lane County are short an estimated 5.2 million diapers each year. That number is staggering. While we can’t meet the entire need yet, our goal for 2025 is to distribute 500,000 diapers—a huge milestone that will make a real difference for thousands of families. Your gift today keeps babies clean, dry, and healthy while easing real financial stress for local families. Thank you Urban Institute and The National Diaper Bank Network for compiling this data!
Local families report difficulty affording enough diapers. Based on current research Lane County needs an estimated 5.2 million diapers annually to fill the diaper need gap.
When families can’t afford enough diapers:

We invite local and state legislators, community leaders, and decision makers to join us in addressing diaper need. Together, we can:
Recognize diapers as an essential healthcare and early childhood item.
Explore state and local funding streams to help meet diaper need.
Diaper need affects more than family budgets — it’s about dignity, opportunity, and long-term community health. Without consistent access to diapers:
Parents face added stress that affects mental health and stability.
Children miss out on safe, nurturing care because families can’t meet childcare requirements.
Communities absorb higher costs through healthcare, social services, and lost workforce participation.
Meeting diaper need is both a compassionate response and a smart investment in stronger families and a stronger Lane County.
Parents & Community Members → Share your diaper need story to help us advocate.
Legislators & Leaders → Connect with us to learn how diaper banks strengthen family stability.
Everyone → Spread the word that diaper need is real, urgent, and solvable.
