Changing the way we think about diaper poverty.
From the bottom up.
Born in 2011, Diaper Train is the only diaper bank exclusively serving Wake County. Diaper Train supplies critical basic needs that ensure the health and safety of babies and seniors. Housed in historic buildings dating back to the mid-1920s, Diaper Train previously shared space with a long list of agencies and organizations including churches, schools and human services organizations all serving Wake County.
In 2025 Diaper Train relocated to 1812 Tillery Place, joining numerous other social service agencies such as Dress for Success, The Salvation Army, The Green Chair Project and others in the Capital Boulevard “Corridor of Care”.
1920s | Paving the Way for a Big Change
2003 | Saint Saviour’s Center
Officially established in 2003 to bring together several social service agencies in the community, Saint Saviour’s Center actively met the needs of seniors and addressed food insecurity through Meals on Wheels and Wake Relief, but there was not yet a solution to help seniors and children who needed access to diapers to maintain good health.
2011 | Diaper Train is Born
To fulfill the unmet need for diapers in Wake County, Diaper Train was born in 2011. Within a few years, Diaper Train became the signature program of the center. Although there have been many changes over time, the mission has remained the same: to help Wake County seniors and babies remain in good health.
The Present | Wiping Away Diaper Poverty
Today, as the only diaper bank exclusively serving Wake County, Diaper Train sets out to supply critical basic needs that ensure the health and safety of babies and seniors. These services are provided at no cost to clients.
