In 2016 five young women learned about the Diaper Gap and decided that they could help- founding Houston Diaper Assistance Program, a 501c3 organization.

Our Vision:

To challenge systemic poverty and close the Diaper Gap by providing assistance to 

2,000 Houston area children annually by 2025.

​

Our Mission:

To raise awareness about the Diaper Gap and grow into the Houston area’s largest diaper assistance program by providing sustainable diaper security directly to clients through strong partnerships and community engagement.

​

1 in 3 American families struggle to afford diapers

​

Most government assistance programs DO NOT cover diapers 

Without diapers, babies can’t participate in early childhood education programs

​

Diapers cost $70-$80per month; babies need 6-12 diapers each day

​

Without transportation, buying diapers at a convenience store rather than a large “big box” store can significantly increase the monthly cost of diapers

​

Diaper need contributes to perpetuating poverty by limiting opportunities that help families improve their situations
