Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP) Fact Sheet
What We Do
The Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP) both addresses diaper need and improves economic security for families with low incomes. DDDRP provides funding to expand existing diaper distribution services through a robust network of community partners that provides anti-poverty services. DDDRP is about more than just diapers — it lifts a barrier to health and well-being for families with low incomes and connects those families with wraparound support services that address the conditions and causes of poverty to help them take steps toward self-sufficiency.
