Providing Essential Care with Diapers
Diaper Distribution Sites
Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County is committed to supporting families by providing essential diapers and wipes alongside food, recognizing the financial strain diapers can impose, costing nearly $1,000 per child annually. This initiative ensures dignity and equity for children's health and development. It offers holistic support in tandem with food assistance efforts. Families benefit from this comprehensive approach, alleviating the burden of choosing between basic, essential needs.
