NEENAH, Wis., Jan. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- One in
three American families experience diaper need1,
which is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to help a baby
or toddler clean, dry, and healthy. Diaper need is a public health
issue that can result from poverty, unexpected life hardships,
natural disasters, and so much more.
Now through Feb. 28, 2022, Sam's
Club members can help make a difference for families experiencing
diaper need by purchasing one pack of Huggies® diapers
at their local Sam's Club, or online, and one day's worth of
diapers will be donated by the Huggies brand to the National Diaper
Bank Network (NDBN), up to one million diapers2. NDBN is
a national nonprofit dedicated to providing basic necessities
required to build the strong foundations all children, families,
and individuals need to thrive and reach their full potential.
"Working to help end diaper need and raise awareness of this
critical issue in America is something incredibly important to the
Huggies brand," said Robert Raines, Vice President of Huggies
North America. "We've been a long-time partner of the National
Diaper Bank Network, and together with the support of Sam's Club,
we'll be able to help thousands of families across America and help
babies thrive."
In addition to the Huggies brand donating a day's worth of
diapers per every package of Huggies purchased at Sam's Club
nationwide, Sam's Club members can also take advantage of in-club
savings of $8 off when you buy one
package of Huggies® diapers and one package of
Huggies® wipes in the same transaction.3
Huggies is proud to be the founding sponsor of the National
Diaper Bank Network, which has 225+ member diaper banks across the
country. Since 2011, Huggies has donated more than 300 million
diapers and wipes to the National Diaper Bank Network to help
families across the country in need.
