SWFL Diaper Bank

Do you need help getting diapers?

Healthy Start operates the only diaper bank in Southwest Florida, serving families in

• Lee
• Collier
• Hendry
• And Glades counties.

The Diaper Bank provides over a million diapers each year to families who need them most.

Diapers are a basic need for babies, and Healthy Start is here to make sure every family has access to them.

Why Diapers Matter

• Parents
  • Without enough diapers, parents may struggle to access childcare and miss work.
  • This can lead to financial stress and even increase the risk of depression and other mental health challenges.
• Employers
  • When parents miss work due to lack of diapers, businesses lose money.
  • Helping parents with diapers can reduce the financial impact on employers.
• Babies
  • Babies need clean diapers to stay healthy.
  • Lack of diapers can lead to painful rashes, infections, and more doctor visits.
  • Babies who don’t have enough diapers also face higher stress, which affects their well-being.
