Milwaukee Diaper Mission

Donation protected

We are writing today to shine a light on a great need in our community. One in three families in the United States struggles to afford diapers, and there are no state or federally-funded programs that specifically address this widespread problem.

What exactly does this mean for those families? Some have to choose between buying diapers or food on a weekly basis. Some have reported rinsing and reusing dirty disposable diapers. No family should have to make these choices.

Today we are announcing the founding of Milwaukee's first freestanding nonprofit diaper bank. Milwaukee Diaper Mission, in collaboration with our partner agencies, empowers families in need by providing a reliable source of free diapers and period supplies. 

-We believe deeply that diversity and inclusion in our organi
zation makes us better at our work and helps us build a stronger movement.

-We believe that offering both a disposable and reusable option to families gives them dignity of choice - because reusable personal hygiene products should be accessible, affordable, and achievable for everyone.

-We believe that ALL babies in Milwaukee deserve to be clean, happy, and healthy.


Please join us in our mission to end diaper need in our great city. We are seeking donations to assist with the startup costs of forming a 501c3 nonprofit organization, as well as the funds to support our operations for the first year. Even a small contribution can make a big difference for the families we will serve.

On behalf of our Board and partner agencies, thank you for considering supporting us as we do this very important work. We look forward to remaining a reliable and impactful organization, serving Milwaukee’s diverse and beautiful families for years to come.

Warmly,

Meagan Johnson & Jessica Syburg
(co-founders & cousins)
