The National Diaper Bank Network

Are you an Individual?

The NDBN does not donate diapers to individuals. We will, however, help you locate diaper banks in your area. If you cannot find a diaper bank in your area on our Find a Diaper Bank directory, send us an email at info@diaperbanknetwork.org.

You may also find the following links to be helpful:

Are you a diaper bank?

Thanks to the generosity of our founding sponsor, Huggies, and others, we are able to distribute diapers as they are made available to us to diaper banks in our network.  We distribute the bulk of these diapers to established diaper banks that have demonstrated an ability to raise funds and/or diapers sufficient to develop a reliable diaper distribution program.  As we have been donated a limited number of diapers and are using these diapers to help diaper banks all over the country, we provide diapers to augment existing programs only.  NDBN cannot be the sole source of diapers for diaper banks. Diaper banks are responsible for raising the majority of the diapers they need to service their clientele.

Because we are reliant upon our donors’ warehouse’s ability to supply the diapers, we do not have control over the schedule of deliveries nor can we accommodate orders for specific sizes.

Diaper banks that are interested in receiving diapers from NDBN should contact NDBN at info@diaperbanknetwork.org or call (203) 821-7348. We will ask you to fill out a survey about your diaper bank operation, and we will use this information in evaluating your request. Diaper banks must be 501(c)(3) not-for-profit institutions, under the fiscal sponsorship of a 501(c)(3) organization or directly affiliated as part of the ministry of a tax-exempt religious institution.  Diaper banks must be able to produce documentation of their tax-exempt status as recognized by the IRS. Diaper programs with no history of diaper distribution will not be eligible for diaper donations, but are eligible to receive technical assistance from NDBN in helping establish their diaper program and fundraising operations.
