The Diaper Gap
Few people are aware of the "Diaper Gap" that exists in the United States. Needy families cannot purchase disposable diapers with most government assistance like food stamps and WIC. Day care centers require a full day's supply of disposable diapers for parents to leave their babies so they can work. Cloth diapers are not allowed in day care centers and most families in need do not have their own laundry facilities and commercial facilities do not allow cloth diapers to be washed in their machines. The need for diaper banks is huge.
Get involved. Host a diaper drive. Donate. Spread the word.

SWADDLE Does Not Distribute Diapers to Individuals
We do not have a public location. We are run out of a home so we have no way to distribute diapers to individuals. The diapers we collect are given to local social service agencies in Chicago's Southwest side and suburbs. Check for a location near you if you are in need of diapers on our Partner Agencies page.
