Diaper Drive

Diapers are more than a convenience—they’re a necessity. Every baby deserves to be clean, dry and healthy, yet for too many families, diapers are out of reach. Without them, infants face increased health risks and are often turned away from early childhood education programs, leaving parents unable to work or attend school. In fact, one in four parents miss work or school because they can’t afford diapers.

Many of our Catholic Charities ministries rely on our Bottom Line Diaper Bank, which is working to change that. We provide diapers to families in need across the Archdiocese of Denver, supporting Marisol Family locations and other programs that serve parents and little ones.

Here’s why this work matters:

• Diapers are a basic need. Every baby goes through 8–10 diapers a day, yet they cannot be purchased with Food Stamps, WIC, or Medicare.
• The need is growing. Nearly half of U.S. families with young children struggle to afford clean diapers.
• Health and opportunity are at stake. Babies without clean diapers face greater health risks, and families often have fewer options for childcare, making it harder to work or attend school.

Thanks to generous donors, volunteers and community partners, the Bottom Line Diaper Bank raises money for and collects diapers that are distributed through Marisol Family locations across Catholic Charities. These diapers give families one less thing to worry about and help babies thrive. Every diaper donated is a step toward stronger, healthier families—and a brighter future for our youngest community members.

This fall, we need your help. Join our Fall Diaper Drive and make a real difference in the lives of babies and parents across Northern Colorado. Together, we can ensure every child has what they need to grow, learn and reach their full potential.
