Donate diapers to families in need

The Office of Community Advocacy in partnership with Miami Diaper Bank are seeking diaper donations to help struggling families. Miami Diaper Bank fills a gap in services by connecting diapers and baby essentials to vulnerable families, providing immediate relief and raising awareness about diaper needs in South Florida.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic stress has just added to the financial difficulties.

Diapers and monetary donations are being accepted through Oct. 3.

The Miami Diaper Bank is collecting diapers and donations to support disadvantaged children in our community to get clean diapers and to be dry and healthy.
