Programs
Diaper Drive
We are launching an important initiative to collect essential supplies for families in our community who are struggling to meet the basic needs of their infants and toddlers. At the heart of this effort is a critical, yet often overlooked necessity: diapers.
The importance of access to clean, sufficient diapers cannot be overstated. For many families, the inability to afford diapers is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a daily hardship that carries serious consequences. Without enough diapers, babies are at risk of infections, rashes, and other health issues. Parents, already doing their best to provide, may feel overwhelmed, ashamed, and helpless as they try to care for their little ones without this basic need.
No parent should have to choose between buying food and buying diapers. No baby should have to go without something so essential to their comfort, dignity, and well-being. Unfortunately, this is a heartbreaking reality for too many families across our communities—including right here in Acadia Parish.
