Testimonials
I can't tell you how happy I am to see an organization like the Detroit Area Diaper Bank out there. The need for diapers is so great, especially when so many people are struggling these days and there are no public assistance programs that help with diapers. The Detroit Area Diaper Bank has delivered tens of thousands of diapers to Starfish and has helped 100s of families. Our families are very grateful for what the Diaper Bank has done for them!

After hearing about the Diaper Bank, we sent in an application. It sounded too good to be true so I had a let's wait and see attitude. True to her word, Marybeth delivered the diapers on the scheduled date! Since then, we had a shortage of a particular size and I emailed a note to Marybeth again. She didn't have any at that time but not more than a week later, she said she had some from a donor in that size. The Detroit Area Diaper Bank has really helped our center to be able to give diapers to women who need them. We really appreciate the resource.

We appreciate our partnership with the diaper bank. As families cannot purchase diapers and other baby items with the Bridge Card, the Diaper Bank meets a basic need in our community.

You came through in a pinch helping us to supply some of our moms with diapers. Thank you!

AAA Pregnancy Resource Center
The families are very thankful for getting diapers from the Diaper Bank. Parents say that diapers are very expensive and receiving diapers for their children helps a great deal, the money they spend on diapers can be used for other necessary needs of the family. The YWCA mission is to empower women, and by providing this service, we are empowering them to get closer to their goals. Thank you for all you do.
The Detroit Area Diaper Bank has been a tremendous asset for our community! The Diaper Bank has helped us fill a gap in the needs of our low and moderate-income client families!

The Diaper Bank has been very helpful to us. Many of our clients with babies are unable to afford diapers so we are able to supply them. God bless your work.

As a Food Bank that serves many young families, we find ourselves in constant need of diapers. Diapers are one of the most expensive products we purchase, and it has been a blessing to partner with the Detroit Area Diaper Bank in supplying our youngest clients with diapers at no cost to our organization. This allows us to spend our funds on much needed food items. We are very grateful for the Detroit Area Diaper Bank.

Our baby diaper needs vary both by size and quantity depending on our Emergency Housing population and our non-Residential Client needs. It's wonderful to be able to be specific about current needs, and to have DADB respond quickly! Your free program allows us to provide the families of domestic violence whom we serve, with diapers, on our limited budget, while they deal with their healing process.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL:
A Thank You Note to the Diaper Bank and the Downriver Community Conference
We are very grateful for the service that we are able to provide because of the Detroit Area Diaper Bank. With the many stresses our families face daily, not knowing where they can turn for help when in emergency need for diapers is now less of a burden.

Infant Mortality Program, based in Highland Park
Thank you to the Detroit Area Diaper Bank. Your commitment to bringing diapers to those in need is commendable. We became a partner over a year ago and the families we serve have received thousands of diapers since then, which helps tremendously when their personal finances often fall short to meet basic needs. It is a joy to refer others to this program also.

The Diaper Bank has been a real blessing to our clients at the St. Mary Community Outreach Center. We provide our clients with food and clothing and by providing diapers from the Detroit Area Diaper Bank, we satisfy a desperate need of people with small children.

The Detroit Area Diaper Bank is a valuable and necessary source in collaborating with my agency and the caregivers I serve. I receive at least five telephone calls a day inquiring the need for briefs for older adult care. Caregivers are working on challenging issues every day and costs in caring for someone are increasing considerably. A low income family needs relief where they can find it. I commend the Detroit Area Diaper Bank for offering this unique and valuable service for everyone.
~ Nancy Coman, Senior Services Case Manager

It has lifted a huge burden being able to go to the Diaper Bank. Several times last year we ran out of the larger size diapers. It is very hard to turn someone away because you don't have what they need.
