Every single day in our community, tens of thousands of families have to use (and re-use) 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. 98.5 KTIS is doing something about the diaper need in the Twin Cities by collecting 75,000 diapers to help those most in need. Join us as we set out on a journey to make life a little easier for families and their babies in our local communities.
Diapers collected
Why diapers matter
- One in three 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
