“One in three families in the US cannot afford to diaper their babies,” said 914Cares CEO and Chairman Jessica Reinmann. “There are physical and emotional effects of diaper need””babies without enough diapers are susceptible to diaper rash, but there”™s also a demonstrated link between diaper need and maternal depression. The World”™s Largest Diaper Drive is a great way to draw awareness to the work that 914Cares does all year long.”
