Ready, set… dash for diapers!

Across our five-county region, too many hardworking families must stretch every dollar - and diapers are a costly, non-negotiable need. The United Way Diaper Dash rallies neighbors, workplaces, and community partners to collect new, unopened diapers and wipes for distribution to local pantries and family service programs.

Your donation supports caregivers who are part of the ALICE population (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). People who are working hard yet still struggle to afford essentials. When our community dashes together, we make sure babies have what they need and caregivers feel supported.
