The St. Luke's Diaper Bank works to provide an adequate and reliable supply of diapers to babies, toddlers and their families in the City of Kalamazoo. It is modeled after successful diaper banks around the country, providing diapers to organizations that are already helping families in need through comprehensive programs and services. Diaper banks using this model ensure that diapers are distributed to the families that need them the most and in the most effective way.
Happy Mother's Day from all of us at SLDB!

You guys!!!!! The National Diaper Bank Network shared some AMAZING news!! They have introduced a bill to create diaper programs in each state to end #diaperneed! This is HUGE! E-mail, call, write, and tweet your state/local representative to ask them to support this! Let's end #diaperneed together! #SLDB #changingdiaperschanginglives
"Some services and resources get framed as needs while others are conceptualized as wants, unworthy of a policy remedy." (Randles, 2017).
It is incorrect to think that diaper need is only about a clean diaper. An inability to have an adequate amount of diapers has profound effects on an infant, a mother, a family dynamic and the community. Listed below are consequences of diaper gap (Porter & Steefel, 2015). Please consider helping St. Luke's Diaper Bank reach the goal of 250,000 diapers and helping to end the diaper gap in Kalamazoo County. Any amount, any diaper, any time will help. #changingdiaperschanginglives
