How To Receive Diaper Assistance
The Columbus Diaper Coalition does not distribute diapers directly to individuals.
Instead, diapers are distributed through a network of partner agencies, such as food pantries and other social service organizations. This approach enables us to provide resources to our established partner agencies, enhancing their services to the community. It also allows us to operate more efficiently by leveraging our partners' expertise in reaching families and babies in need. Most importantly, it ensures families have convenient, local access to the resources they rely on in their own neighborhoods.
How to get diapers:
1. Scroll through our listed partner agencies below located in the Greater Columbus area.
2. Select the agency name to be redirected to their website.
3. The agency website will list how they can help, hours of operation, and what documents to bring on your visit.
Please Note: The Columbus Diaper Coalition does not distribute diapers to families from our warehouse. Visiting our Partner Agencies is the best option to receive our free diapers, pull-ups, or baby wipes. We hope this helps.
