Diaper Outreach "No Child Wet Behind"
This successful outreach began 8 years ago with support from local churches, businesses, agencies, and individuals. Last year approximately 68 Pamlico County families were provided diapers and baby items through this program.
To receive diapers a family may drop by or call Pamlico Partnership for Children (PPFC) once per month to request the size diaper they need, there are no requirements to receive diapers. The staff will complete a one-time intake to ensure the family is aware of services in our area. The diaper outreach provides a door for the partnership to connect, support families, and ensure that babies are cared for.
PPFC hopes to raise awareness about the challenges that so many families are faced with to keep their babies in clean and dry diapers. Unlike baby formula and food, diapers are not covered by the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) which means parents are forced to make hard choices: food or diapers? Food assistance is available from local charities and food banks, but getting free diapers is a harder task.
We distribute sizes: Newborn to size 6. At times quantities are limited. We do not distribute pull-ups; we will help with steps to potty-train.
