Diaper Month
Help Fill a Truckload of Diapers for Colorado BabiesBabies need diapers every day. together, we can make sure they have them.
What is Diaper Month?
Diaper Month: Coming Together for Colorado Babies is WeeCycle’s month-long campaign this September to raise awareness and support for families experiencing diaper need across Colorado.
Because diaper need doesn’t last one week – and neither does the need for support.
Why does it matter?
Babies need diapers every single day, but too many Colorado families struggle to afford this basic necessity. As costs continue to rise and more families turn to WeeCycle for help, our community’s support is needed now more than ever to help ensure every baby has the diapers they need to stay healthy, happy and safe.
Our GoalBring a truckload of diapers for colorado families
Babies need diapers every single day. The need never stops, and for too many Colorado families, keeping enough diapers on hand is a constant challenge. Parents should not have to choose between buying diapers for their baby and paying for groceries, rent or other essentials.
This September, our goal is to raise $50,000 to purchase a truckload of diapers for Colorado infants and toddlers. Together, we can provide the diapers families need today while helping ease the impossible choices so many parents face.
Your gift provides more than diapers – it provides comfort, dignity and peace of mind for families during a time when they need support most.
Every donation brings us closer to filling the truck and helping ensure more Colorado babies have access to this essential item.

National Diaper Need Awareness Week
Every September, National Diaper Need Awareness Week shines a light on the reality that many families face when they don’t have enough diapers to keep their babies clean, healthy and comfortable.
Diapers are a basic necessity, but they are not covered by programs like food assistance – leaving many families to make difficult choices between diapers and other essentials.
At WeeCycle, we see the impact of diaper need every day. Families across Colorado turn to us for support, and the need continues to grow.
That’s why this year, we’re expanding Diaper Need Awareness Week into Diaper Month: Coming Together for Colorado Babies. Because diaper need doesn’t last one week – and neither does the need for support.
