I thought this would be a thread about that Omar Woman.
She needs them for her head.
This is one organization that could use a heated lecture by Greta Thunberg.
Not needed.
Just firmly insist the “woke” millenials learn to use a toilet. Damn, they’re in their twenties now.
THe UT students must be utilizing this program disproportionately.
Total load of BS.
Their WIC, EBT, SNAP more than cover the cost of diapers....and MUCH more.
When our first daughter was born we had a fairly good income but still my wife who was pretty careful with money, insisted that we use regular cloth diapers.
I still remember rinsing dirty diapers in the toilet then dropping them in a diaper pail. She probably washed them every other day. Washing, using bleach, using fabric softener etc. We did take disposables when traveling.
Yes, no doubt diapers a big expense on the budget for low income folks, but 1 in 3???? Be serious.
What percentage of the Adult American population can be deemed “terminally dependent?”
10%?
25%?
50%?

Zero sympathy.
In the good old days they were made of cloth, washable and reusable and after the tot grew out of them they made damn good rags. Progress sometimes is really crapola.
Deport all the illegal aliens and the diaper needs will decrease.
“Diapers for Anchor Babies”.... they could use a cute sailor logo. There are millions of them in Texas.
I hope they’re passing out birth control pills with the diapers.
I don’t want to sound heartless but why should I donate anything to a person who decides she going to have a baby without the means too support that child.
I hate these corporate fundraising drives for these”charities”.My employer has these drives going on monthly.collecting for diapers to school materials.I wish my employer would donate more to me.
1 in 3 want free stuff.

I can’t believe that disposable diapers are any less polluting to the environment than plastic straws. Like many so-called biodegradable wipes, they don’t actually disintegrate over a period of time. I used cloth diapers for both my sons, one born in 1966, and the other in 1971.
Hmm...we used cloth diapers on both of our girls in the late ‘80s - early ‘90s. They last forever - I’m still using one as a polishing cloth! And they’re MUCH cheaper than disposables. I’d be willing to donate 20 cloth diapers to any diaper bank.

I remember when my first child was born in the late 80’s.
A box of disposable diapers in my area could not be had for anything less than ten bucks. I was only making around 19 grand per year.
It really irritated me. I bit the bullet and bought them. She was my child and it was my responsibility.

Funny, they don’t list a phone #, so we can call and ask them if they take donations of CLOTH diapers.
A list of their ‘sponsers’ says it all.
