The Diaper Train provides diapers to low-income families in Wake County, improving the lives of babies and toddlers. The program is run by volunteers and serves 1,000 individual children each month, and receives 10,000 visits each year.
The Diaper Train began in November 2010 as the first diaper bank in Wake County. The first year we distributed 65,000 diapers to crisis centers. Now our annual distribution averages 500,000 diapers per year, and we serve both agencies and individual families in need. Referrals are required.
