Every parent knows the importance of diapers. It’s a basic need that spans from newborns through the toddler stage. But adult diapers are just as important for seniors with bladder and bowel issues. According to the National Diaper Bank Network, one in two families with small children can’t afford the diapers they need. This leaves their children vulnerable to painful rashes and urinary tract infections (UTIs). In addition, the high cost of adult pads and diapers forces seniors who rely on them to pay hundreds of dollars per month to live with dignity. The fact that diapers are not covered by either SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) or WIC (Women Infants and Children Program) compounds the burden on both parents and seniors and increases the effort to find diaper need solutions.
One of Honest Medical’s partners, First Quality, is a company that manufactures diapers and other infant care products and they regularly donate to organizations that support underserved parents and children. Their work was the inspiration for Honest Medical to join in the effort to meet this critical need for both parents and seniors with a donation of over $10,000 in disposable diapers, pads and briefs to the San Diego Food Bank, a dedicated community resource delivering live-saving nutrition to thousands of people each day. In addition, The San Diego Food Bank, along with its 450 community partners, offers a wide range of programs serving those in need including the Diaper Bank.
According to Honest Medical CEO Mike Greenan,
“We saw the incredible work First Quality was doing, and it inspired us to step up right here at home. For us, this isn’t just a corporate donation; it’s about making sure our neighbors, from the newest babies to the seniors, don’t have to choose between putting food on the table and having basic necessities like diapers and briefs. That’s what we’re here for, to extend a hand to those in need.”
