How We’re Supporting Families Post the COVID-19 Pandemic

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Greater DC Diaper Bank partnered with 25 other basic need provider organizations around the DC metro region to ensure all families have what they need during that tough time. We’ve created Diaper Need Hubs, a place where families can get food and diapers at one location. We’re currently partnering with the following organizations. Since then, the need has not decreased, and the Diaper Need Hubs remain active. 

Below you will find some additional information on the partnering organizations and what you need to know before arriving at each location. We do not provide diapers directly to families. Please do not show up at an organization without having reviewed their policies.
