About the project

The Metropolitan Detroit Diaper Bank will distribute 50,000 diapers through locations in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties to families affected by the Federal Shutdown. 

The Steps

  • Volunteers recruitment
  • Distribution sites are making preparations for receiving and distributing the diapers
  • Preparing press releases
  • Scheduling drivers to drop off diapers to distribution locations
  • Secure radio time and or TV spot
  • Crowdfunding

Why we‘re doing it

Diaper banks typically help low-income families who have trouble affording diapers and wipes, which are not covered by food stamps or the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC.  However, after missing two paychecks in January the pause in cash flow has left many affected by shutdown reliant on food banks and unable to afford life’s basic necessities, including diapers one of three basic needs for babies, children and people with incontinence problems.
