The Travel Club is 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. Facts:
- More than 1 in 3 families are unable to provide diapers for their
children.
- Rochester, NY has the highest rates 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.
To help support this need, the Travel Club will be collecting diapers,
diaper supplies and monetary donations through the end of December 2019. Please
bring all donations to the Hospitality Office (3-155), we also have a donation
box outside the office.
