Become A Partner
The only way the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank gets our diapers and period supplies out into the hands of the families who need them is through partnerships with local non-profit organizations, school districts, doctor’s offices, and churches.
Why Partnership?
The Diaper Bank’s mission to provide diapers and period supplies to the families who need them most in St. Louis is best achieved when we partner with local organizations already serving these families.
When families know they will get diapers and period supplies through an organization they are more likely to participate in programs that will benefit them in other ways and are more likely to keep appointments with service providers. When basic needs are met, families are more able to work on the complex tasks of emotional, social or physical development being tackled by our partners.
Partner Agreement
The Diaper Bank seeks partners who are committed to collaborative work – helping us understand the scope, causes and consequences of diaper need and period poverty in our community and helping us understand the impact that our diapers and period supplies make in the lives of families.
We ask our partners to commit to helping us collect data, talk about diaper need, period poverty and the Diaper Bank in the community. We ask our partners to join us in advocacy efforts that would make diapers and period supplies more accessible for the families who need them in Missouri and nationwide.
