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. On average, families go through 4,700 diapers from birth through potty training and spend between $945 and $1,500 on diapers each year for just one child. DDDRP provides funding to expand existing diaper distribution services through a robust network of community partners that provide 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.
Who We Serve
The Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot serves families with low incomes who have unmet diaper needs.
