Diaper banks and other organizations that collect unused diapers and distribute them to local agencies (often food banks) that provide services for families in need. Their objectives are to provide a consistent supply of diapers and wipes to ensure that families living in poverty have an adequate supply for their infants and toddlers; to raise community awareness that "basic human needs" include diapers and that these needs are not being met for children living in poverty; and to advocate for policy reform so that diapers are included in the definition of and provision for the "basic human needs" of families.
