October 18 – November 2

Did you know that nearly half of all households with babies face the impossible choice between paying rent or buying diapers? Since programs like WIC don’t cover diapers, many families are forced to stretch supplies by leaving babies in diapers longer than they should—leading to health issues like diaper rash. Without enough diapers, babies can’t attend daycare, which means parents miss work or school.

What seems unimaginable is the reality for too many families.

Four years ago, the St. Gaspar Family of Parishes began partnering with Dayton Diaper Depot to help address this urgent need. Together, we supply diapers to food pantries and community organizations across the Miami Valley—including Feeding Friends Food Pantry, Fairborn FISH, Elizabeth’s New Life Center, Women’s Center of Dayton, Springfield City Schools, and many more. In fact, in March 2025, Dayton Diaper Depot distributed its 1 millionth diaper!

Now, you’re invited to join us in “Building a Better Future from the Bottom Up!”
