This bill mandates the Secretary of Defense to allocate $1,000,000 annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2030 to the National Diaper Bank Network. The primary goal is to establish a Military Family Diaper Fund , dedicated to providing essential diapers and diapering supplies to military families facing financial hardship. Under the proposed agreement, the National Diaper Bank Network is required to secure matching funds or in-kind contributions from non-Federal sources, equal to or exceeding the federal allocation. These combined funds will then be distributed exclusively to Network members who have a proven track record of distributing such supplies within 20 miles of a military installation for at least five years. The bill also stipulates that the Network must submit an annual report to the Secretary of Defense detailing the fund's activities and impact.
