The Power of Diaper Banks

You’ve heard of blood banks and commercial banks, but have you ever heard of diaper banks? Now, these aren’t the kind of banks where you can deposit your old diapers to collect interest (*ba dum tss*). Actually, these banks are doing quite a bit of good for new and growing families struggling to afford diapers, one of the biggest financial costs that new parents face. Diaper banks collect and distribute diapers to those who need them most. We wanted to learn more about how these banks are serving families so we invited Vic Velivis, executive director of Utah Diaper Bank, on the show to discuss his work and why it’s so important for the community.
