A Small Hand Diaper and Infant Needs Pantry
was formed to meet the basic needs of the youngest members of our community with necessary diapers and hygiene products. Families struggling with low-income and other hardships often must decide whether to buy diapers or pay bills. Without access to diapers, infants and toddlers stay in dirty diapers for a longer period of time. The long-term effects include severe diaper rash, oftentimes accompanied with infections.
Time and time again, we hear the age-old comments: “Why don’t these parents just use cloth diapers?” or “Cloth diapers are cheaper, make the parents use them.” The answer is two-fold: (1) day-care centers WILL NOT allow cloth diapers to be used while a child is under their care and (2) most low-income families do not have access to washing machines to properly wash and disinfect the dirty cloth diapers. Thus, low-income families are forced to use disposable diapers.
In addition to diapers, families receive packages of baby wipes as well as supplemental formula, baby food, bottles, hygiene products, coats, mittens, caps, clothes and blankets when needed and available.
Please consider joining our Facebook pages, which provide current information regarding our participants’ needs and our activities.
We hope that you will help A Small Hand Infant Needs and Diaper Pantry. No donation is too small to give a struggling family a helping hand through a difficult time in their lives.
