Since 2013 Baby Booties Diaper Bank has distributed over 3.5 MILLION diapers to babies and families in need throughout Collin County. In addition to diapers, they distribute baby wipes and thousands of period products monthly to mothers and people in need. On average BBDB volunteers will serve 300 vehicles at a drive-thru event passing out over 20k diapers on a given Saturday to diaper 500 babies. The cost to replenish diapers, wipes, and period pads each MONTH is over $5,000, so donations are critical to keeping supplies stocked for families. Families are currently paying close to .40/diaper and there is no government assistance. It's a basic need expense many in our community are struggling to keep up with.
We are most in need of funds to keep up with the growing demand. The lasting financial stress and impact this will have on families, for years to come, are still unknown but will be substantial. Baby Booties has a wonderful partnership with a medical supply company allowing us to purchase diapers at a much lower cost than retail. Therefore, we are about to stretch every donation dollar that much farther!
Baby Booties Diaper Bank provides diapers, wipes, and period products to low-income families across North Texas because every child deserves a healthy start and every family deserves dignity and support. Through monthly community distributions, school partnerships, and collaborations with local nonprofits, Baby Booties helps bridge the diaper gap and fight period poverty for families experiencing financial hardship.
The need for diapers and hygiene essentials continues to grow across North Texas. Baby Booties distributes more than 30,000 diapers and thousands of period products each month, with sizes 4, 5, 6, and pull-ups consistently in highest demand. Financial donations help us purchase diapers, wipes, period products, and other essentials in bulk so families can receive support at no cost.
Baby Booties Diaper Bank is committed to serving families with dignity, compassion, and respect. We believe every child and caregiver deserves access to basic necessities regardless of income, background, or circumstance. We recognize that diaper need and hygiene insecurity disproportionately impact underserved communities and working families facing financial hardship.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable organization by listening to the voices and lived experiences of the families we serve, building diverse community partnerships, and continually learning how to better support our community. Through accessible programming, volunteer engagement, and collaborative partnerships, we strive to reduce barriers to health, dignity, and opportunity for families across North Texas.
