The Junior League of Boca Raton's (JLBR) Diaper Bank is committed to doing everything possible to provide diapers to struggling families in our community during this unprecedented time. We are working closely with our partner agencies who are on the front lines, getting much needed essentials and supplies to families in need.
Your generous donation will go towards purchasing, transporting and distributing diapers to the children and families whose lives are impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.
DID YOU KNOW?
Our government does not recognize diapers as a basic need. Since diapers are not eligible for federally-subsidized food stamps or WIC, the cost of diapers puts an enormous financial strain on struggling families just trying to make ends meet. It's nearly impossible for low-income families to afford enough clean diapers for their children without the help of organizations like the JLBR Diaper Bank. It's reported that 1 in 3 American families have to choose between diapers and other basic needs like food. No parent should ever have to choose between providing these basic necessities for their family.
The JLBR Diaper Bank ensures that low-income families in South Palm Beach and North Broward Counties receive the necessary diapers our local children depend on. We partners with 23 different local nonprofits in Broward and Palm Beach Counties and distribute over 600,000 diapers annually to serve over 2,000 children. It is currently the largest diaper bank in South Florida.
If there was ever a time the struggling families in our community needed your help...it's now.
