One in two U.S. families struggles to provide enough diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy.
As we recognize National Diaper Need Awareness Week from September 14 through 20, 2026, we urge support of local and national diaper banks for this large need across the country.
Bailey Glasser litigation partner Mark Boyko works to address diaper need in the St. Louis region. As a member of the Board of Directors of the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank and as Missouri State Representative for District 90, he sponsored House Bill 633 in 2025. The legislation reduced Missouri’s state sales tax on child and adult diapers, as well as feminine hygiene products.
“Diapers are a basic necessity, not a luxury. Donating diapers or supporting a diaper bank is a direct and meaningful way to help families protect their children’s health, dignity, and well-being,” said Mark.
This week, please consider donating diapers, training pants, or funds to the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank or a diaper bank in your own community. Find more information at these links:
