What We Do
The Diaper Bank of North Carolina works towards the vision that every family in our state have access to basic necessities to support their dignity, health, and quality of life by providing diapers, period supplies, and adult incontinence products to those who need it most. We currently have locations that serve the communities of Durham, the Greater Triad, and the Lower Cape Fear area. With the opening of our Greater Charlotte area branch, made possible by the generosity of Smart Start of Mecklenburg County and other community members, we hope to continue the work we have been doing around the state.

- Our Durham Branch distributes about 300,000 diapers per month which covers approximately 6,000 bottoms per month
- We are one of few, if not the only Diaper Bank in the country to publish research that is the roots our service
