Some Overall Facts and Why this is important to us:
One in three families struggle to afford diapers for their infants and toddlers. It costs about $1,000 for a 1-year supply of diapers for one child. For someone who works a full-time minimum wage job, or families with more than one child in diapers, this is a major expense.
There is an increased need to provide period products to individuals in our community who cannot afford or struggle to access these supplies. This is also known as Period Poverty, and the results often lead to missed days of school and/or work.
The monthly cost of adult incontinence products exceeds $300 per month, which is a significant cost for adults with disabilities and our elderly neighbors. More than 2,000 senior households in Hunterdon County earn under $25,000 annually, and the monthly cost of incontinence products is often beyond their reach.
