As the rate of poverty increases among residents in rural areas of Oregon, the money for basic needs such as diapers decreases for families forcing them to decide between food, shelter, and basic hygienic needs. Families with infants and senior citizens have the added cost of diapers that can cost a family twenty to thirty dollars per child a month, and senior citizens seventy dollars for one month. The presenter located areas vulnerable to poverty and created the Douglas County Emergency Diaper Bank to provide donations of diapers to infants, toddlers, and senior citizens in need of emergency diapers. These donations allow families to get diapers in emergencies when there are no resources available to them. The Douglas County Emergency Diaper Bank was developed through a local Talent diaper bank under the direction of C.J. Lipski. The presenter drafted professional donation letters to local agencies for money, advertising, and community drop-off and distribution sites to create the diaper bank. The results were money and diaper donations, drives, and distributions of diapers. Research on the project highlights areas that are in highest need of diaper banks. Outcomes learned are the ability to network with local agencies to provide basic human needs.
