We exist to reveal the truth behind diaper need. Basics aren't basic, they're essential.
About us

Launched in 2011 with the support of founding sponsor Huggies®, NDBN is dedicated to creating awareness, providing assistance and building community to #EndDiaperNeed in the US. Its active membership includes more than 300 basic needs banks serving local communities in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. More information on NDBN and diaper need is available at nationaldiaperbanknetwork.org, and on Twitter (@DiaperNetwork), Instagram (@DiaperNetwork) and Facebook (facebook.com/NationalDiaperBankNetwork). In May 2018, the organization launched the Alliance for Period Supplies, with the support of founding sponsor U by Kotex®, to raise national awareness of period poverty (#periodpoverty) and support the development and expansion of period supply programs in communities throughout the country. The organization is comprised of more than 130 Allied Programs that collect, warehouse and distribute menstrual/period supplies in local communities.

ICYMI: Voters in Nevada will have the opportunity this November to vote on whether to exempt diapers from the state’s sales tax. We're hopeful that Nevada will join 19 other states by exempting sales tax from diapers, which would help lower costs for families with young children. #EndDiaperNeed https://lnkd.in/gBeqyz3S
