According to new Census Bureau data, child poverty jumped from a record low in 2021 to 12.4% in 2022 - we must continue our work to advocate for policies - like the expanded Child Tax Credit - that will help to meet the basic needs of families & children.

Most daycares require parents to provide a full day's supply of diapers for their children to attend. If a mom doesn't have enough diapers, she can't drop her baby off to go to work or a job interview. Diapers translate into opportunities and can help end the cycle of poverty.

“Our take is that #period supplies are school supplies, and nobody should have to choose between going to class and having their period,” said Michelle Old, founder and CEO of Diaper Bank of North Carolina.
