What’s accepted?
When it comes to making a difference in the lives of families and infants, donating diapers is a direct and impactful way to help. The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) and its network of more than 225 member diaper banks throughout the US, collect and distribute diapers to families in need. Understanding what types of donations are accepted by our members and where to donate is essential.
NDBN members accept both opened and unopened packages of diapers. If you’re looking to donate an open package, ensure that the diapers either have the size printed on them, or you still have some original packaging to show the size of the diapers. This enables the diaper bank to repack the diapers and provide families in need with the correct size of diaper for their child.
If you have a package of unopened diapers, have a copy of your receipt, and are struggling to afford more diapers, we suggest you check the return policy of the store where you purchased the diapers. Most retailers will accept returns or exchanges on unopened diaper packages. If you have a package of diapers that you cannot return or would like to donate to a family in need, you can locate a diaper bank near you on our member page. If you’re looking for additional ways to get involved and support a diaper bank, you may be interested in hosting a diaper drive.
