Every day in our community tens of thousands of mothers have to use (and reuse) diapers because they can’t afford to purchase enough diapers to keep their child clean, dry, and healthy. It’s a sad fact that one in three families need help to diaper their babies.
In order to help the growing demand for diapers, 98.5 KTIS is participating in the World’s Largest Diaper Drive in May with the hope of collecting two million diapers in one week to help those most in need. The most-needed items are diapers sizes 4, 5, and 6, and Pull-Ups of all sizes.
Join us as we set out on an historic journey to make life a little easier for families and their babies in our local communities.
We have made it easy to participate! Shop for the most-needed sizes on our Amazon Wish List!
Why Diapers Matter:
- 1 in 3 families struggle to provide clean, dry diapers for their children.
- A baby will use around 7,000 diapers before being potty trained.
- When a family can’t afford diapers, they will leave wet or dirty diapers on too long or scrape out the diaper and re-use it.
Most Needed Sizes:
- Size 4
- Size 5
- Size 6
- Pull ups-all sizes
