Resources in the Community
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.
Click on the name of the organization below to be redirected to their website and to learn their criteria needed to access diapers and resources. We may not work with these resources but they are ones that we know of in the community.
