National Diaper Need Awareness Week 2026

National Diaper Need Awareness Week (NDNAW) draws attention to the issue of diaper need in the U.S.

A signature initiative of the National Diaper Bank Network launched in 2012, the National Diaper Need Awareness Week provides individuals, organizations, communities, and elected officials the opportunity to engage in real talk and simple actions. By working together we can ensure that all babies have access to clean diapers and other basic necessities required for them to thrive and reach their full potential.

One in two U.S. families struggles to provide enough diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy.
