This resolution recognizes the critical importance of diapers for infant health and family well-being, highlighting their necessity for keeping babies and toddlers clean, dry, and healthy. It expresses support for designating the week of September 15 to September 21, 2025, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week." The resolution notes that "diaper need," the lack of a sufficient supply of clean diapers, affects nearly half of families with young children, costing low-wage families a significant portion of their income and often preventing parents from utilizing childcare and working. The resolution further emphasizes that diaper need is a preventable public health issue, as insufficient diapers can lead to infections and health problems, burdening family budgets with medical costs. It acknowledges the tremendous work of diaper banks and the National Diaper Bank Network, which provide free diapers to struggling families across the country. Finally, the resolution encourages United States citizens to generously donate to diaper banks and diaper drives to support these organizations, ensuring all children and families can thrive.
