Diaper Depot offers supplemental diapers to households with children from birth to age 5 through a partnership program with HappyBottoms. Children who enroll in the supplemental program can
receive 75 diapers or 50 pull-ups per month until their 4th birthday.
why diapers?
- One in three families struggle to buy diapers.
- Many parents have to choose between buying food or diapers. Food Stamps cannot be used to purchase diapers.
- Wearing a diaper for too long jeopardizes a baby’s health.
- Childcare requires a day’s supply of diapers; those without diapers are turned away. Moms without access to childcare can’t go to work.

program basics
- The program serves Buchanan, Andrew, Clinton, and DeKalb counties in Missouri, and Doniphan County in Kansas. Residents of other counties covered by agency services should contact agency staff at 816-364-1131 for information on programming options in your area.
- Anyone can ask for help through this program. There are no boundaries, no eligibility guidelines and no fees for this service.
- Children who enroll in the supplemental program can receive 75 diapers or 50 pull-ups per month until their 4th birthday.
- Parents are able to get diapers, wipes, ointment, and powder through the supplemental program monthly through the child’s third year. Each child is given 75 diapers or 50 pullups per month.
- Registered families can pick up diapers any Tuesday (9 am to 1 pm) or Wednesday (1 to 5 pm).
- Five years ago the agency added adult incontinence supplies to the inventory. Many older adults struggle with this issue. Being on a fixed income makes buying these items a difficulty for elderly individuals.
- All of the products for the program have been donated by community members, through the partnership with HappyBottoms, and a sponsorship from Anderson Ford.
- In 2023, the Diaper Depot provided 6,100 diapers through 258 completed pickups, at a value of $1,891. Additionally, 126 units of adult incontinence supplies were provided to adults, at a value of $126.
To donate
The wipes, powder, and ointment provided for the children enrolled in the program is unique to the Diaper Depot. While diapers are part of the agency's partnership with Happy Bottoms, the agency provides these items through donated funds and products.
