Support the Diaper Bank
"Infants use about 240 diapers per month. A year’s supply of diapers costs $936. That means a single mother mother working full time at the minimum wage can expect to spend 6 percent of her annual pay on Pampers alone. Meanwhile, the two biggest programs that assist low-income mothers, SNAP (food stamps) and WIC, don’t cover diapers or baby wipes.
That might be why, in a study of 877 pregnant and parenting women published in Pediatrics in 2013, a team of researchers found that needing diapers and not being able to buy them was a leading cause of mental health problems among new moms." (Source: The Atlantic)

The Critical Support CCO Provides
Each month, CCO provides supplemental packages of diapers and wipes to families in Ventura County.
Since the diaper bank's launch in 2018, we've provided more than 300,000 diapers (plus wipes) to families throughout the County of Ventura — more than 230,000 of those since March 2020. On average, we currently support more between 200-250 families per month, and, as of June 2021, we average nearly 19,000 diapers per month (plus wipes).
We provide support to individual families as well as various organizations such as: Safe Passage Youth Foundation, Adelante Comunidad Conejo, Amigo Baby, First Five, Ventura County Public Health, CVUSD, Friends of Fieldworkers and Gold Coast Health, to name a few. Your support makes it possible.
