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

In response to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, Greater DC Diaper Bank has partnered with several other basic need provider organizations around the DC metro region to ensure all families have what they need during this 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 below organizations, and are looking to partner with others as the situation evolves.

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
