GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — According to the Gold Coast Doulas, one in two U.S. families with young children struggles to afford diapers, and no government programs currently provide them. That is why the Gold Coast Doulas' annual charity diaper drive has been going strong for 10 years, with a focus on supporting low-income women and children.
The annual diaper drive benefits Holland-based Nestlings Diaper Bank of West Michigan and Great Start Parent Coalition of Kent County. Since 2011, Nestings has distributed over 3 million diapers and helped over 50,000 families, distributing about 4000,000 diapers in 2024.
If you would like to donate, take your opened or unopened boxes and packages of new disposable diapers, gently used cloth diapers, and cloth supplies, brand new cloth diapers, and unopened boxes or packages of wipes to any of the locations listed below.
