In 2019, the Junior League of Fort Worth (JLFW) announced its intent to start a Diaper Bank. With this initiative, our aim is to serve as a mobilizer and connecter for diaper need in Tarrant County.

The Junior League of Fort Worth Diaper Bank (JLFW Diaper Bank) officially opened in the summer of 2020. We are also pleased to announce our partnership and residence with Tarrant Area Food Bank. Through this exciting partnership, the JLFW will be able to share resources to assist in accomplishing our vision of getting as many diapers as we can into the hands of those in need as quickly as possible.

HOW A DIAPER BANK CARES FOR OUR COMMUNITY

• Supporting Health: Diaper need is a health crisis. When individuals do not have the means to provide enough clean diapers for daily use, health risks rise.
• Supporting Fort Worth: The JLFW has identified a gap in services provided in Fort Worth relative to diaper need. Our women believe we can successfully fill this gap and assist our community.
• Supporting Inclusivity: A diaper bank has a broad outreach within Tarrant County, and is a direct response to those in need and caught in poverty.
