Diaper Co-OpThe JLSN Diaper Co-Op
The JLSN Diaper Co-Op seeks to ensure that low income families in our area have an adequate supply of diapers for their infants and toddlers. We also aim to build community awareness about the challenges that these families face, and reform public policy to ensure that diapers are included in “basic human needs.”

Areas of Focus
The Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk is committed to responding to the needs of the community. A recent survey of our membership coupled with thorough research in the community has identified our present key focus areas as: 

Positive Youth Development
Child Health and Welfare
Self-Sufficiency of Women

Kimberly Clark – manufacturer of the diaper brand Huggies – asked us to join in their national diaper need awareness program called Every Little Bottom.  Through Every Little Bottom, Huggies will donate up to 20 million diapers to needy U.S. families in the next eight months.  This national campaign sheds light on what JLSN's Diaper Co-Op, a diaper bank established in October 2008 to provide diapers for needy families in our area.  So far the Diaper Co-Op has served 90 families in our service area, and we have distributed over 215,000 diapers.
