CARRBORO, N.C. -- The week of Sept. 23-29 is “Diaper Need Awareness Week" in Carrboro, as proclaimed by Mayor Barbara Foushee.
National surveys and research studies report that one in two families struggles with diaper need and 48 percent of families delay changing a diaper to extend their supply.
The people of Carrboro recognize that diaper need is a public health issue, and addressing diaper need can lead to economic opportunity for the state’s families and communities and improved health for children, thus ensuring all people have access to the necessities required to thrive and reach their full potential.
Carrboro is proud to be home to trusted community-based organizations, including Diaper Bank of North Carolina, that recognize the importance of diapers in ensuring health and providing economic stability for families and thus distribute diapers to families through various channels.
