Diaper bank or community assistance program

Price per diaper: Strong. A nationally representative 2021 survey published in a peer-reviewed journal found 46.1 percent of respondent caregivers reported diaper need (44.0 percent once weighted to national income distribution), and that stores were the most common diaper source at 92.3 percent of acquisitions, while 'an agency or support organization' accounted for only 16.3 percent; the study concludes these community resources are 'unlikely to be adequate given the limited number of families served by diaper banks.' source↗ 2026
