Perinatal and Women’s Health Nurses’ 4th Annual Diaper Drive

Did you know that 1 in 5 Canadian families do not have enough diapers to keep a baby dry and healthy? What does this mean for families? They have to cut back on necessities like food, utilities, medicine and child care in order to afford enough diapers for their children, which Impacts the physical, mental and economic well-being of families

Families may not change diapers regularly, increasing diaper dermatitis, infections and overall discomfort
Babies may be kept in wet/dirty diapers for as long as a full day or be put in a used diaper that has been dried out
Parents cannot use daycare if they cannot provide disposable diapers. Babies may cry more often, increasing anxiety and stress for parents and babies

Great news! In collaboration with the Canadian Association for Perinatal and Women’s Health Nurses’ 4th Annual Diaper Drive, we are joining our efforts to support babies in our communities by donating unopened diapers and wipes to women’s shelters in Montreal.

Please feel free to bring your donations to the box in the Student Affairs area of the 19th floor until 2:00pm on Monday, October 30, 2023, where we will happily collect them! If you do not have any diapers or wipes at home, you may send $ donations by e-transfer to amanada.cervantes@mcgill.ca and we will use the money to purchase in bulk and donate.
