Summary

Designates September 14–20, 2026 as National Diaper Need Awareness Week and spotlights diapers as a basic material need for infant health and family well-being. It notes that nearly half of families with young children experience diaper need, that infants use 6 to 12 diapers a day and a month's supply can cost $80 to $100 or about 14 percent of a low-wage family's post-tax income, recognizes 300+ National Diaper Bank Network members across all 50 States, DC, and Puerto Rico, and calls on Americans to donate to diaper banks and drives to help families access this basic necessity.
