Recognizing the importance of diapers to infant health and family well-being, and expressing support for the designation of the week of September 23-29, 2024, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week".
HRES 1507 designates the week of September 23-29, 2024, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week" to highlight the importance of diapers for infant health and the financial strain on families. The resolution notes that diaper need affects nearly 1 in 2 families with young children and that diaper costs can consume 14% of a low-wage family’s post-tax income. It encourages public support for diaper banks through donations and participation in diaper drives to help families meet this basic need.
