HomeAid Colorado Distributed Record-Breaking 1.7 Million Diapers

HomeAid CO's Builders for Babies Distribution Day on Friday, June 25th, dispersed over 1.7 million diapers and 1 million wipes across all of Colorado.

After surpassing their initial goal of 1.5 million diapers, HomeAid Colorado, along with 100 volunteers, worked hand-in-hand to load dozens of trucks with countless pallets of diapers for distribution around the state. In its fourth year, the Builders for Babies Diaper Drive surpassed the previous record-breaking year by 30% in donations and statewide reach.

It costs a family about $1,000 per year to buy a supply of average-priced diapers for one child. For someone who works a full-time, minimum-wage job, making just over $15,000 a year, that’s a huge expense. Combined with government assistance programs not accounting for this necessity, HomeAid Colorado is proud to help address this issue head-on.
