Nashville Diaper Connection Meets a Huge Community Need The diaper bank currently serves 8 percent of low-income families with young children in Nashville Tweet Photo: Daniel Meigs If you’re a parent who received free diapers in the past year, there’s a very good chance they came from Nashville Diaper Connection. In 2020, the organization whose website features the slogan “No Child Wet Behind” provided a total of 2 million diapers to local families, up from 860,000 in 2019. Close to 66,000 of those were given out in the first four days following the March 3 tornado.  According to the National Diaper Bank Network, as many as one in three families reports experiencing diaper need. Diapers cost an average of $70 to $80 a month per child, nearly $1,000 a year. Nashville Diaper Connection, Nashville’s only diaper bank, provides a stock of diapers for 57 distribution partners across the city. And in 2020, the need widened. 

Prioritizing Nutrition Security in the US

Julia Raifman, ScD; Jacob Bor, ScD; Atheendar Venkataramani, MD, PhD The prevalence of nutrition-sensitive conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes has increased substantially in the US during the past 30 years.
