The mission for the CNY Diaper Bank is to ensure that all CNY families have access to an adequate supply of diapers for their babies and toddlers, and to build awareness in our community that diapers are a basic human need not being met for all children. This is a very important mission as 50% of Syracuse children under 5 live in poverty.

The CNY Diaper Bank aims to centralize the fundraising and distribution of free diapers to families in need through existing service providers, including:

• Local food pantries
• Childcare centers
• Social service agencies
• Shelters
