ARIZONA DIAPER BANK
Mission Statement
"We promote dignity through community partnerships by making diapers, period products, and incontinence supplies accessible." The mission of the Arizona Diaper Bank is to ensure that families and individuals across Arizona have access to essential hygiene products needed for health, comfort, and stability. Founded in 1994 as the nation’s first diaper bank, the organization works to address diaper need, period poverty, and the lack of incontinence supplies, basic necessities that are not covered by public assistance programs. Through a statewide network of trusted nonprofit and community partners, the Arizona Diaper Bank distributes diapers, period products, and adult incontinence supplies to families with infants and toddlers, individuals with disabilities, seniors, and others facing financial hardship. This decentralized model allows people to receive products in familiar, accessible settings while also connecting them to additional supportive services. By alleviating the financial burden of hygiene products, the Arizona Diaper Bank helps caregivers stretch limited resources, supports child and adult health, and strengthens family stability. The organization is committed to building stronger communities by meeting a fundamental need with compassion, efficiency, and collaboration.
