• DIAPER BANK: : JLNO BELIEVES FAMILIES SHOULDNT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DIAPERING AND FEEDING THEIR CHILD. CAREGIVERS SHOULD NOT BE PREVENTED FROM WORK OR SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE DIAPERS TO SEND WITH A CHILD TO DAYCARE OR AN EARLY EDUCATION PROGRAM. PROVIDING DIAPERS MEANS A CHILD WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND FROM DAWN TO DUSK IN THE SAME DIAPER BECAUSE A CAREGIVER DOESNT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY THE SIX TO TEN DIAPERS THEY NEED IN A DAY. JLNOS DIAPER BANK DISTRIBUTED OVER 641,000 DIAPERS THIS YEAR THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.
