Heroes for Babies Rocking it Across Virginia
Why Diapers?
We are on a mission to shine a light on "Diaper Need". Once again we invite Virginia families, businesses and community organizations to join us in making a big difference for local children to make maximum positive change for our communities.
Virginia Diaper Banks, diaper pantries, maternal health organizations, community supporters and their volunteers across the state provide the momentum that helps us affect change for babies in need.
With your help our collective impact has exceeded the distribution of over 10.5 million diapers.

Why are diapers important? Clean diapers are a basic need of every baby and toddler.
According to new data from the NDBN Diaper Check 2023:
- 1 in 2 U.S. families cannot afford enough diapers to keep their infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. These babies are more vulnerable to painful rashes and urinary tract infections and have more trips to the doctor.
- 3 in 5 parents miss work or school because they can’t afford the diapers required to leave their baby in Childcare.
