The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank builds healthy communities by ending diaper need and period poverty through access, education, and advocacy. The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank was founded in 2014 to fill a gap in St. Louis' basic needs nonprofit ecosystem. Food pantries, local safety-net organizations, and government assistance programs provided little or no support for diapers and period supplies - critical needs for any family and menstruating individual. The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank provides diapers and period supplies to low-income families and individuals in the St. Louis region by collecting these resources through donation drives or purchasing them through our wholesaler distributor partners and the National Diaper Bank Network; packaging diapers and period supplies at our warehouse; and distributing these resources through out network of 70+ community partners across 80+ location in St. Louis County, St. Louis City, Jefferson County, St. Charles County and East St. Louis, IL.
