Programs and results
What we aim to solve
An estimated 1 in 3 families face diaper insecurity, having an extreme negative impact on infant health, parent mental health, and overall family outcomes. Diaper insecurity predominantly impacts low income families, where an estimated 15%-20% of household income could be used solely for diapers. In addition, parents who are unable to supply their children with diapers are often not able to utilize day care programs, requiring parents to find alternative child care options, including missing work. To compound the need, federal and staff assistance programs do not provide support for diaper supplies. This is currently an unmet need through any public assistance programs.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Healthy Living for Seniors
This program serves senior citizens in public housing, many of whom suffer from chronic illnesses. The program includes health education, counseling, activities and spiritual support to help seniors navigate the aging process.
The Diaper Train
The Diaper Train is Raleigh's first diaper bank. It began in November, 2010 to serve low-income families in Wake County. Diapers are collected through diaper drives and distributed to families in need. Volunteers assist families by providing diapers, baby wipes and children's books.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We want to ensure families facing diaper insecurity are supported in order to ensure more healthy children and positive family environments where parents can provide for their children.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We currently provide a monthly supply of diapers to children of referred families each month for up to three years. In addition, children receive a book and information on reading programs to help support early reading and relationship development.
Our service delivery involves facility visits by families during program hours, as well as satellite distribution programs at partner locations in order to best fulfill the need in the most impacted communities.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Since 2011, we have distributed 5.5 million diapers to Wake County families. Being the first diaper bank in Wake County, and the only diaper bank to impact communities in need, directly, we seek to continue our impact growth through additional partnerships and community outreach to areas in need.
In order to sustain our impact, our organization has one full time Executive Director, with a dedicated staff support for the diaper program. In addition, we have over 100 volunteers provide support each year and a strong foundation of donors and grant/foundation funding to help us meet our goals.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We currently serve over 5,000 children and distribute over 375,000 diapers annually. Through our partner agencies and direct distribution, we seek to continue our program growth in order to serve community members in need of support. Overall, diaper insecurity is a largely unmet need and seldom discussed. Through our outreach and partnerships, we've been able to grow our impact, annually, by 12% since 2020.
