National Diaper Need Awareness Week

September 14-20, 2026

Together we can #EndDiaperNeed

About our fundraising efforts…

Babies & Beyond has been raising awareness and support for Diaper Need in Wisconsin since 2015. 

In addition to online fundraising, we collect diaper donations September 1-20 at over 20 different drop-off locations to help stock the Diaper Bank shelves.

Why raise money? Why Donate Diapers?

The goals are to:

  • Address Diaper Need in our community
  • Spread the word about Diaper Need Awareness Week in Wisconsin!
  • Support the overall mission of Babies & Beyond

Diaper Need


Babies & Beyond is dedicated to addressing “diaper need” in our community. “Diaper need” refers to the serious problem of getting babies a sufficient supply of diapers. We collect and distribute thousands of free diapers each month in order to help babies in our community to remain clean, dry and healthy.

Diapers cost $80-100 per month for one baby, yet cannot be bought with food stamps or WIC.

A lack of clean diapers puts babies at health risks and parents in emotional distress.
