Vermont babies were covered, a million times over, thanks to the Junior League of Champlain Valley.
The group planned to give away its one millionth diaper June 2, just about a year and a half into the organization s diaper bank program.
The group recognized a need families can spend $100 a month diapering one baby, and purchases don t qualify for state or federal subsidies. Nationwide, one in three families could not afford paying for diapers before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and the need greatly increased as more people lost or left jobs to stay home during the crisis.
The diaper bank, established in fall 2018, quickly outgrew storage in volunteers personal homes and in 2019 they began using a warehouse at the Burlington International Airport. At that time, they were able to distribute 100,000 diapers a year in Chittenden County. As the pandemic increased need, the program expanded distribution to food shelves in 13 of the 14 Vermont counties.
