Thanks to the generosity of our community, Jewish Family Service of Dallas exceeded its goal of collecting 100,000 diapers during the 16th Annual Diaper Shower!
Throughout October, individuals, families, businesses, and community organizations came together to help ensure families across Greater Dallas have access to essential supplies for their young children. Together, we collected more than 115,000 diapers and wipes, surpassing our goal and making a meaningful difference for the families we serve.
Meeting an Everyday Need
For families facing financial challenges, the cost of diapers and wipes can add up quickly. These everyday essentials are critical to keeping babies and young children clean, dry, and healthy, yet they are not covered by assistance programs like SNAP or WIC.
Through our Food Pantry and Health Centers, we work to ease the financial burden of caring for young children so families can focus their resources on other important needs. The JFS Dallas Food Pantry serves an average of 146 children in diapers each month, and helping families access diapers, wipes, and other essential supplies alleviates a major financial burden.
The success of this year’s Diaper Shower helps ensure these supplies remain available to families who turn to JFS Dallas for support.
A Community Effort
Reaching this milestone would not have been possible without the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners. From individuals who contributed diapers and wipes to organizations that hosted collection sites, every contribution helped us exceed our goal.
A special thank you to our Diaper Shower Co-Chairs, Cathy Glick, Julie Liberman, and Beverly Rossel, whose continued leadership and dedication have helped make this annual tradition possible. Since 2011, the Diaper Shower has collected and distributed more than 1.9 million diapers and wipes, providing essential support to families across Greater Dallas.
