We are deeply grateful for the generosity of individuals and organizations who support our mission through diaper donations. To ensure the health, safety, and dignity of the families we serve, we are only able to accept new, unopened packages of diapers and training pants. Opened items cannot be distributed, as we do not circulate products that may be unsanitized. Additionally, for safety and logistical reasons, all donations must be approved in advance by our Program Manager. Please do not drop off donations at our location without prior authorization. If you are interested in donating, we encourage you to contact us first so we can coordinate a safe and effective donation process. Your cooperation helps us uphold the highest standards of care for our community.
