Covering Weld Diaper Bank

What We Do

Download Program Overview (PDF document)

Creating the Covering Weld Diaper Bank has been a goal of UWWC early childhood development staff for the last few years; COVID-19 has accelerated its creation. From mid-March until the end of May 2020, UWWC staff made over 450 home deliveries of diapers, wipes, formula, and other necessities to families across Weld County, from Fort Lupton to Pierce, Johnstown to Kersey, and everywhere in between.

In addition to contact-less home deliveries during COVID-19, the Diaper Bank distributes large quantities of its essential supplies to other organizations that serve young children and their families. This provides an easy on-ramp for additional services, while addressing an immediate need with long-term physical and mental benefits. The Diaper Bank has also proved to open in-roads into previously unreached communities within the county. Families from several different refugee backgrounds, grandparents who previously refused assistance, and numerous teen mothers now accept Diaper Bank staff openly. By establishing trust with regular deliveries of essential items when needed, staff have been able to convince these families to get more intensive assistance from other places, like Early Head Start, SafeCare Colorado, and WIC, and to provide parenting education in small, digestible snippets.

How We Impact

When Jackie and her husband decided to have another baby, they never dreamed they would end up having triplets! With a 3 year old and 3 new babies, money was tight. Then Jackie's husband was laid off. When Jackie's mother reached out to us to see if we could help, we were happy to. We provided Jackie and her husband with diapers, clothes, and books for the babies. We also connected them to a support group for parents of multiples. Jackie's husband found work again after a couple of months, and things are looking up. We were happy to be able to provide even a little support for those rough few months, and look forward to seeing all 4 children grow and thrive!
