The Maricopa County Diaper Bank offers eligible families the opportunity to save approximately $75 a month per child on a daily necessity.

The program, which is run by the county’s Human Services Department, is made possible through funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services via Arizona's Community Action Association, Wildfire, according to a release.

The Diaper Bank will distribute more than 700,000 diapers, ensuring that nearly 5,000 children receive a monthly supply of 150 diapers each, county officials said in the release.

“This initiative recognizes the challenges faced by families who are forced to make difficult choices between purchasing groceries, covering transportation and housing costs and meeting the basic needs of diapering their child,” the release stated.

"We understand the financial strain that families face when it comes to providing for their children,” Human Services Director Jacqueline Edwards said.

“The availability of diapers at no cost through our Diaper Bank will allow parents to prioritize their expenses without compromising their child's well-being.”

Diapers can range in cost from 30 cents to 75 cents each, depending on size and features. The program offers diapers in a variety of sizes from newborn to older children, including young adult sizes for children with special needs.

The Diaper Bank is available for Maricopa County families living outside Phoenix, Glendale and Mesa. Families enrolled in Maricopa County’s Head Start program are also eligible, county officials said.

Families must also meet income requirements and be within 150% of the federal poverty level – an annual income of $45,000 per year for a family of four.
