Putting diapers in the hands of those who need them.

Get Help

To receive diapers, families must meet the following requirements:

R

Have a current referral on file from one of our Referral Partners

R

Live in Wake County

How it works:

R

Diaper Train community partners make referrals online, or referrals can be sent to Diaper Train via email, fax at 919-833-5500, or brought by the client at the first visit.

R

Once a referral is received, the client will receive a confirmation by text with the first available pickup date. Distribution occurs during program hours only.

R
Diaper Train provides clients with diapers every four weeks. Every four weeks, clients receive diapers, wipes, and books for each child.
R

During each visit, clients are given a reminder slip with their next eligible return date. This is a reminder, not an appointment. Clients may visit once every four weeks.

R

Existing clients: If another baby/child needs to be added to a client’s household, client should bring documentation that includes the new baby’s birthdate (hospital discharge paper, birth certificate, Medicaid card, etc.) for Diaper Train to update the record.

R
If a client cannot pick up diapers during distribution hours, a friend or family member may pick up diapers on their behalf. Please provide that person with a picture of the client’s ID to show to Diaper Train when they arrive.
R
Diaper Train is here to serve any person experiencing need, regardless of age. Youth and adult sizes are available in addition to baby sizes.
R

Diaper Train does not permit self-written referrals. The community partners are able to help you get a referral or visit our full list of partners.

R
Clients may not utilize both direct service and community partner agency distribution simultaneously.
