Healthier Moms and Babies will launch its fourth annual Community-Wide Diaper Drive on Sunday, June 1, 2025. The organization is calling for donations of diapers and wipes to help reduce diaper need throughout the community. This year, more than 110 collection bins have been placed across Northeast Indiana. Local businesses and organizations are participating by hosting public drop sites and conducting internal donation drives.
Through its home visitation programs and Hopper Mobile Outreach, Healthier Moms and Babies distributes diapers and wipes to the families who need them most. Diaper need affects 1 in 2 families across Indiana. Diapers are essential for keeping babies clean, healthy, and dry—yet many families cannot afford them. In 2024 alone, Healthier Moms and Babies distributed over 750,000 diapers to support more than 6,000 babies.
Diaper need impacts entire families: without clean diapers, babies are at risk for health issues and toxic stress; mothers are more likely to experience maternal depression, which increases the risk of preterm birth; and parents may be unable to access childcare—most providers require a daily supply of diapers—leading to missed work or school.
By donating diapers and wipes, you help alleviate diaper need and support healthier families in Northeast Indiana. Your contribution stays local, directly benefiting your neighbors. Last year, community members donated over 150,000 diapers and wipes—this year, the goal is to exceed that number!
This initiative is made possible by the generosity of the community. Thank you to all our donation drop sites across Northeast Indiana. Special thanks to our Corporate Sponsors: MidWest America Federal Credit Union, Lutheran Health Network, Navigate Maternity, F&M Bank, Women’s Health Advantage, Fort Wayne Pediatrics, and Aqua Indiana. Additional thanks to our Diaper Drive Sponsors: OutFront Media and Three Rivers Commercial Moving & Installations.
