ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — Rock Island nonprofit Hiney Heroes is joining diaper banks across the country in the World's Largest Diaper Drive. The goal is to raise over 2 million diapers by the end of May for families in need.
Hiney Heroes is asking for the community's help to reach this goal. All diapers and funds donated in the Quad Cities will go directly to local families and parents.
According to the National Diaper Bank Network’s Diaper Check 2023, 47% of families with young children struggle with diaper need, or the inability to provide an adequate supply of diapers for their children.
Diapers will be collected at numerous locations in the Quad Cities and surrounding communities:
