Hampton Roads Doulas is proud to bring you No Child Wet Behind 2016. This diaper drive, 5k run, and family 1 miler will benefit the Greater Hampton Roads Diaper Bank.
To volunteer: http://hrdoulas.com/ncwb-volunteer/
To financially donate: http://www.nochildwetbehind.com/event/hampton-road-doulas-virginia-beach-va/
According to The National Diaper Bank:
- 1 in 3 American families reports experiencing diaper need.
- Diapers cannot be obtained with food stamps.
- Disposable diapers cost $70 to $80 per month per baby.
- No state or federal child safety-net program allocates dollars specifically for the purchase of diapers.
- Without transportation, buying diapers at a convenience store rather than a large “big box” store can significantly increase the monthly cost of diapers.
- Infants require up to 12 diapers per day, toddlers about 8.
- Babies who remain too long in a soiled diaper are exposed to potential health risks.
- Most childcare centers, even free and subsidized facilities require parents to provide a day’s supply of disposable diapers.
Join this event to directly benefit Hampton Roads families and give every child the opportunity for a clean hiney!
No Child Wet Behind is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
