REGIONAL DIAPER BANK
Since our inception in 1992, HOPE has provided diapers to struggling families with children, the disabled and senior adults in need. In 2013 God answered a specific prayer and sent a person to help us formalize and organize our diaper ministry.
Upon retirement, Mrs. Cher Leadbeater stepped up and has maximized our diaper program through organization and awareness building…
We celebrate her commitment and passion. Because of her hard-work and leadership the diaper-bank has become nearly self sustaining …
The Need
The Community’s Need for Diapers are as follows:
-
No public assistance covers the cost of diapers including Food Stamps
-
Diapers average cost of $100 per month (babies need 8-12 diapers daily)
-
Disposable diapers are required by daycares
-
Cloth diapers require access to sufficient laundry facilities and are not allowed in most laundry mats
-
Incontinence is considered a growing concern among adults age 60 and older
