2024 Diaper Drive

Donate to the AWHONN Diaper Drive at #AWHONN2024

 

As more mothers struggle through postpartum recovery, the last struggle they do not need to worry about is whether they will have all of the diapers and wipes to keep their newborn clean, dry and healthy. Since 2005, the Healthy Mom&Baby Diaper Drive at AWHONN Convnetion, in conjunction with sponsor Huggies® Brand®, benefits our host city diaper bank, which in Phoenix is  Diaper Bank of Central Arizona (diaperbankaz.org).

 

This year we’re also seeking donations of period supplies, if you are so inclined, because if baby needs diapers, then mom also likely needs period supplies. Donate diapers and period supplies in the designated bins during exhibit hall hours at the AWHONN Healthy Mom&Baby booth #925.

 

Why You Should Donate

  • 1 in 3 families don’t have all the diapers they need to keep their infants clean, dry and healthy.
  • Nurses see health complications of the serious rashes and infection created when parents leave wet or soiled diapers on for too long, or dry and reuse diapers.

Working in partnership with Huggies®, and the non-profit National Diaper Bank Network , AWHONN members in hospitals and health facilities throughout the U.S. collect diapers to give to their most vulnerable patients.

Along with Huggies® Brand, AWHONN Nurses say “We got you, baby!”

 

Since 2005, AWHONN nurses have raised and donated more than 6.7 million diapers through the Healthy Mom&Baby Diaper Drive, sponsored by Huggies® Brand®, to diaper banks in their local communities. Nurses are the key to ensuring moms and their newborns have the education, care, support and supplies they will need to get off to the best possible start at home.
