The team at Cooper Levenson Attorneys at Law is participating in the #GreatBigDiaperDrive to aid the Community Food Bank of New Jersey – Egg Harbor Township in helping families without consistent access to diapers.
Here’s why the #GreatBigDiaperDrive is important.
Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient number of diapers to keep a baby clean, dry, and healthy, according to the National Diaper Bank Network.
Lack of diapers is a hidden consequence of poverty.
Without consistent access to diapers, babies are more vulnerable to painful rashes, urinary tract infections, and have more trips to the doctor.
Today, 1 in 2 U.S. families cannot afford enough diapers to keep their infant or child clean, dry, and healthy.
It’s also reported that 3 in 5 parents miss work or school because they can’t afford the diapers required to leave their baby in childcare.
Without clean diapers:
- Babies are exposed to potential health risks and
toxic stress. - Mothers are at risk for increased maternal
depression. - Parents are unable to access child care, which
require a daily supply of diapers.
Babies require up to 12 diapers per day, which adds up to $80-$100 or more per month
per child – a cost many struggling families simply cannot afford. No parent should have
to make the impossible choice between food and diapers for their child
Every $1 can provide 6 diapers to a family in need. With its enormous purchasing power, CFBNJ can procure more diapers per dollar than any individual alone.
