HEART OF OHIO DIAPER BANK
strives to ensure every baby has enough diapers to remain clean, dry, and healthy.
Our Mission:
To offer support to families in times of need by providing access to diapers, period supplies and other essentials through a network of community partners.
Donate
You and your friends/group can help alleviate that need by hosting a diaper drive.
Donate Time
Interested in helping? Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank can utilize your time and heart to help others.
Host a Drive
Every dollar, every diaper, and every period and adult incontinence product can make a huge difference in the life of a child, teenager and adult. Financial contributions enable us to buy large quantities of supplies at lower costs to help fill the growing need!
More than babies
Period Supplies
Period Poverty exists for Teens and Adults
Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank supplies our Community Distribution Partners as well as all of Stark County Schools and schools in Carroll, Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne counties Pad and Tampon Packs to help alleviate period poverty.
The school systems we serve are through a partnership with Stark County Educational Service Center.
1 in 4 U.S. women struggle to afford period supplies each year
1 in 5 low-income women report missing work, school, or similar events due to lack of access to period supplies
Only 4% of U.S. women are aware of a local resource where they could access free or reduced-cost period supplies
Pad Packs are made up of 20pads and 5 liners. Tampon Packs have 20 tampons and 5 liners.
Adult Briefs
Incontinence is a Real Problem
Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank provides Adult Incontinence Supplies to those in need. These are distributed through our Community Distribution Partners in six counties. Providing access to these essential supplies supports independence, dignity, and health for adults living with incontinence.
15-20% of adults over the age of 65 are incontinent. Unmanaged incontinence is a leading cause for otherwise healthy adults to become institutionalized, abused, or neglected
Medicare DOES NOT cover incontinence supplies. With an average of $200/month cost, many go without the necessary supplies
Adult incontinence affects more people every day than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined. Adults of all ages can struggle with incontinence for a variety of reasons
