Diaper Bank
We believe all babies should have access to clean diapers.
The Junior League of Tampa works closely with the Tampa Bay Diaper Bank to fight diaper need in our community. Our volunteers help collect, pack, and distribute diapers through a network of community partners across the Tampa Bay area.
About the Tampa Bay Diaper Bank
Originally started in 2018 as a League project, the Tampa Bay Diaper Bank was officially launched as a stand-alone nonprofit in 2025. With an independent board of directors, the Bank is focused on combating diaper need sustainably at scale, serving thousands of families each year.
The League continues to support the Bank by providing volunteers and financial support. Learn how you can support their mission.
Diaper Need Facts
Diaper Need is a serious issue affecting families in Hillsborough County. According to the National Diaper Bank Network:
15.5 million children in the U.S. aged three or younger live in poor or low-income families.
1 in 2 American families report experiencing diaper need.
3 in 5 parents miss work or school because they cannot afford diapers.
Diapers cannot be obtained with food stamps.
An average monthly supply of diapers costs approximately $80 per child.
No state or federal child safety-net program allocates dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers.
Without transportation, buying diapers at a convenience store rather than a large “big box” store can significantly increase the monthly cost of diapers.
Infants require up to 12 diapers per day, toddlers about 8.
