For many families in Cobb County, the simple act of keeping a baby in clean, dry diapers is a daily struggle. With food prices climbing and household budgets stretched thin, parents often face the heartbreaking choice between buying groceries or buying diapers.
Food stamps do not cover hygiene products, and with the average cost of diapers reaching $100 a month, many households find themselves in crisis. That’s where Cobb Diaper Day steps in. Since its beginning, this community-wide effort has helped ease the burden for families with infants and young children by collecting thousands of diapers to be distributed through local nonprofits. Partner organizations include the Center for Family Resources, MUST Ministries, Ser Familia, Simple Needs Georgia, LiveSafe Resources, Communities in Schools, Sweetwater Mission, and Cobb & Douglas Public Health. These agencies see firsthand the difference a clean diaper makes for a baby’s health and a parent’s peace of mind.
This year’s goal is ambitious: to collect more than 100,000 diapers of all sizes. Community members are encouraged to declare a “Diaper Day” at work, school, or church, or even host a neighborhood diaper drive. Donations may also be made through the Barbara Hickey Children’s Fund or by ordering directly from Amazon to ship diapers for distribution.
The highlight of Cobb Diaper Day 2025 will be the community drop-off event on Tuesday, October 28, from 2–6 pm at the Cobb EMC Solar Flower Garden. By partic ipating, you’ll be giving local families comfort, relief, and hope—one diaper at a time..
