Share Our Spare is hosting a drive for National Diaper Need Awareness Week to help end diaper need in Chicago. Inflation is making it harder than ever for families to afford the basic necessities, especially diapers. The National Diaper Bank Network Diaper Check 2023 survey found that 1 in 2 U.S. families with young children experience diaper need – a dramatic increase from the 1 in 3 figure from last year. 35% of caregivers reported cutting back on food and 28% reported skipping meals to afford diapers for their children. Diaper need is a public health crisis! It is associated with physical, emotional, and economic harm to children and families. We need your help to support these families, to ensure that all children in Chicago have access to clean diapers. This year we are hoping to collect 200,000 diapers. Help us surpass our goal by purchasing diaper today!
