Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank

06/04/2026

One in two Cincinnati families struggles to afford diapers.

Last Month, our Helping on Chai volunteers packed over 6,000 diapers for Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, and the ripple effect of that work is real.

Sweet Cheeks distributes about 2.5 million diapers each year to families in need, because every person deserves access to the basics.

These women gave their afternoon. Families across our city will feel it.

The next volunteer event is June 18! Check out the link below to get involved.

A diaper is a simple thing until a family does not have enough of them. 💙

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share more about diaper need in our community and the important new chapter for Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank as it joins the St. Vincent de Paul Cincinnati family of services.

Diaper access is about more than hygiene. It impacts a parent’s ability to work, a child’s comfort and health, and a family’s overall stability. Through this partnership, we are committed to helping families access the essentials they need with dignity and compassion.

You can help make a difference for local families by supporting diaper access in our community.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💙

Today is the last day to support Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, you can make a gift in honor of a mother or caregiver in your life while helping local families facing diaper need.

We’re just over $10,000 away from our $100,000 goal. Help us close the gap before the day ends!

No parent should have to worry about running out of diapers, yet for many families in our community, that worry is a reality. Your support helps provide babies with the essentials they need to stay clean, dry, and healthy.

Help us finish strong and make a lasting impact for families across our community before the day ends.

Thank you to Once Upon A Child and Perfetti van Melle for supporting Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower. 💙

It’s not too late to make a difference 💙

Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower ends on Mother’s Day, and we’re just over $84,000 toward our $100,000 goal.

There’s still time to help us get there. Once Upon A Child is matching donations up to $5,000, but only for a little while longer!

No parent should have to worry about running out of something as essential as diapers. For many families in our community, that worry is constant.

Let’s finish strong and reach $100,000 together so more babies have what they need to stay clean, dry, and healthy.

Thanks to your generosity, Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower has raised just over $78,000 toward our $100,000 goal, and we’re not done yet!

Now through Mother’s Day, Once Upon A Child is matching donations up to $5,000, doubling the impact of every gift.

Too many families are forced to stretch diaper use longer than they should, which can lead to discomfort and health concerns for their babies. This is the reality many parents are facing right now.

Let’s keep the momentum going and reach our goal so even more families can access this essential resource!

Last chance to help Cincinnati's Largest Baby Shower! We are excited to announce that Once Upon A Child is stepping up as a matching donor this week, matching donations up to $5,000 now through Mother’s Day! 🌸

That means every gift you make will go twice as far in helping provide diapers for families across our region.

For many parents, running out of diapers means having to choose between keeping their baby clean and dry, or paying for other basic needs. That’s why this moment matters.

We’re so close to our goal, and with your help, we can get there. Thank you Once Upon a Child for inspiring the community to give alongside you this week!! Join us in making twice the impact for local babies and families. 💙 You can even drop diapers off at their drive this week at any of their stores if you'd like to give in two ways!!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner! In this Cincinnati Refined feature, Kaytlynd and Lydia share how, for many moms in our community, providing essentials like children’s clothing can be a real challenge. At St. Vincent de Paul, we see how quickly those everyday needs add up and how much of a difference community support can make. Donating gently used or new children’s clothing helps families stretch their budgets and ensures kids have the basics they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

Diapers can also be a major challenge for many families. They are expensive, needed every day, and cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits. Through Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, community support helps provide this essential resource to parents and caregivers across our region. A gift to Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower helps local moms and caregivers access the diapers they need. We’ve already reached the $70,000 mark. Help us get to $100,000 before Mother’s Day so even more families across our region can receive support.

Watch this week’s Cincinnati Refined feature to learn more about how you can help moms in our community access the essentials they need.

St. Vincent de Paul urges donations this Mother’s Day as rising costs strain Cincinnati families and thrift stores face clothing shortages.

We are so thankful for the volunteers who help make SVDP’s Sweet Cheeks program possible. You can help too by giving your time or by making a gift to Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower to support families in our community.

Sweet Cheeks partners with a trusted network of more than 40 local nonprofits and healthcare providers across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, working together to distribute about 2.5 million diapers each year to families who need them most.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 by Mother’s Day to keep diapers moving through that network so babies can stay clean, dry, and healthy, no matter their family’s income.

We’re grateful to Perfetti van Melle, sponsor of the drive, for helping launch this effort with a $15,000 match.

We’re thankful to Liz Bonis Local 12 News and What’s Happening in Health for highlighting something that is often overlooked: diapers are not just a household expense. They are a health need.

Without enough diapers, babies can be more vulnerable to painful rashes and infections, creating even more stress for families already trying to make ends meet. Diaper need can also affect access to childcare and work stability, since many childcare providers require families to bring their own diapers.

In fact, 1 in 4 parents and caregivers with diaper need reported missing work or school, and those who missed work reported an average of 5.1 workdays in a month.

That is why Sweet Cheeks matters, and why Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower matters. With support from Perfetti Van Melle, our community is working toward a $100,000 goal to support diaper access for families across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

“A good diaper keeps our kids more comfortable and when they’re comfortable, they’re happier.”

Oscar and Anna are raising two little ones, and like so many families, they know how quickly diaper costs add up. Even lower-cost diapers can be hard to afford, and they often do not work as well.

They shared:

“We have a 2-year-old and an 11-month-old. A box of 90 diapers, even the cheaper ones, costs about $50. Sometimes we don’t have money for even those by the end of the month.

And the low-cost diapers leak, especially for our 2-year-old. If we could, we’d share diapers with everyone who needs them. Since we can’t right now, we’re so grateful someone is sharing with us.”

Families across our region are facing these same choices every day. During Cincinnati’s Largest Baby Shower, your support helps more caregivers get the diapers they need for their children.
