By helping families with access to concrete basic necessities such as diapers, the Idaho Diaper Bank is
helping build stronger families and reduce the adverse early experiences many Idaho babies are experiencing.
Not having something as simple as a diaper can have tremendous consequences. When there is not an adequate supply of diapers, this can lead to babies being left in the same, soiled diapers all day. Dirty diapers can make us sick and spread hepatitis A, viral meningitis, and severe bacterial diarrheas, among many other illnesses that are a danger to the baby’s health and the family’s.

With 46% of children under the age of three living in poor or low-income families (0-200% FPL), there are 35,000+ families likely struggling to provide basic necessities like food, shelter, and hygiene.

In Idaho 53% of infants and toddlers live in low-income families (that is 6% higher than the national average. Source: National Center for Children in Poverty). These same children (35,947 of them in Idaho) are particularly vulnerable to having their brain’s architecture weakened —this can’t be undone after age 3 and it affects later achievement and employment.
