The Alaska Diaper Bank Coalition
One in three Alaskan families struggle to provide clean diapers for their baby. We want to change that. Diaper need is prevalent across Alaska, increasing financial burden and stress for struggling families. Babies without clean diapers are exposed to more potential health risks & less likely accepted to daycares, leaving parents unable to attend work.
The Alaska Diaper Fund Coalition is made up of nonprofits who operate Diaper Pantries in their communities across Alaska. We convened together, in January 2022, due to the increasing ask and need of struggling families to provide clean diapers to their babies.
Our Coalition is made up of nonprofits who want to answer the ever increasing demand. In partnership with the Alaska Children's Trust, and the National Diaper Bank Network, our first nonprofit coalition members consist of: Alaska Adoption Services, Alaska Family Services, the Community Pregnancy Center, Hello Baby!, a program of the Juneau Partnerships for Families & Children, and Sprout Family Services.
Throughout June each year, you can direct funds to a specific nonprofit/community, or statewide for distribution to all participating diaper pantries.
If you are interested in joining our coalition for 2023, please send an email to: kidsfirst@alaskachildrenstrust.org for more information.
