The Travel Club is collecting diapers for Rochester's only Diaper Bank

MCC's Travel Club is still collecting diapers for Rochester's only diaper bank. The Junior League of Rochester Diaper Bank distributes more than 10,000 diapers to partner organizations and social workers each month. All supplies for the diaper bank are obtained through diaper drives/donations and fundraising efforts of the Junior League of Rochester organization.


The Travel Club will be collecting diapers, diaper supplies and monetary donations through the end of May 2020. Please bring all donations to the Hospitality Office (3-155), we also have a donation box outside the office.

Diaper Facts:

  • More than 1 in 3 families suffer from diaper need.
  • Rochester, NY has the highest rate of childhood poverty among cities of comparable size, with more than half of all children living in poverty.
  • Diapers and wipes are not covered by any form of government assistance.
  • Babies require 6 to 12 diapers per day, and disposable diapers can cost as much as $80 per month, per baby.
  • Babies who remain in a soiled diaper too long are exposed to potential health risks, such as bacterial infections and severe diaper rash.

Please consider helping in any way you can.
