WHY DIAPERS MATTER
Food Stamps cannot be used for diapers.
Diapers cost up to $100-150 per month, per baby.
Many parents have to choose between buying food or diapers.
Wearing a diaper for too long jeopardizes a baby's health.
Childcare centers require parents to provide a day's supply of diapers (8-10 per day).
Babies without diapers are turned away from childcare.
Parents without access to childcare can't go to work.
Lack of diaper access can lead to tension in the home.
Tension in the home can lead to child abuse and neglect.
