CARRBORO, NC -- The week of Sept. 15 -21 is “Diaper Need Awareness Week" in Carrboro, as proclaimed by Mayor Barbara Foushee.
National research reports that 1 in 2 families struggle to secure enough diapers to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy due to insufficient income, and families here in Carrboro are not immune to this challenge.
Addressing diaper need in Carrboro strengthens families, reduces poverty-related stressors, and fosters healthier, more equitable communities that reflect our town’s longstanding values of inclusion and care for neighbors.
The Diaper Bank of North Carolina, in partnership with Carrboro organizations, schools, and service providers, has provided and distributed 115,616 diapers to Carrboro families, ensuring that children are clean, dry and healthy.
