Diaper need in the U.S. affects one in three families, especially here in Central Oregon.
Many families will have to choose between either purchasing diapers or food.
At this
time, there are no government or state assistance programs that help struggling families
purchase diapers and there are few resources for this type of aid in Bend.
The Rebecca Foundation is partnering with Pure Light Chiropractic, who has donated their office space
for the distribution of diapers to those in need. Families may complete an online application
at clothforall.org or stop in during working hours to complete a simple application. Diapers
will be distributed that same day. Diaper Drives will take place throughout Bend to collect
disposable and cloth donations.
Local businesses and individuals wishing to help collect
diapers should contact Amanda La Bell at [email protected] or call 541-540-9442.
