Resources

The Columbus Diaper Bank does not distribute diapers directly to individuals

Diapers are distributed through a network of service organizations. By working with organizations that are established in the community it allows the Columbus Diaper Bank to contribute a resource to our partners, increasing their services to the community. It also allows us to be efficient and to utilize the organization’s  expertise to distribute to families and babies in need.
