DAYTON — Nearly half of U.S. families with children are affected by diaper needs. These families face many challenges, including limited access to childcare. Many daycares do not allow children to attend without a sufficient diaper supply provided by their parents, so parents may not be able to work.
Children are also at risk of developing skin infections. It is important to know that diapers are not covered by government assistance programs such as SNAP and TANF, leaving many families struggling to meet these basic needs.
As a member of the National Diaper Bank Network, HTC distributed over 300,000 diapers to underserved Miami Valley families in 2023. This year, with the support of Morris Home and Ashley, the WHIO-TV 7 Circle of Kindness and HTC are merging forces to help address the still urgent diaper need of children in our community.
Starting now and through February 28th, 2025, you can contribute to the 7 Circle of Kindness Diaper Donation Drive by dropping off diapers of any size at one of the following locations:
- HTC office (2490 Technical Dr, Miamisburg, OH 45342). Diapers can be dropped off inside the building during office hours or in the blue bins outside at any time.
- Once Upon a Child locations in the Dayton area (look for the HTC bins inside during the store hours):

If you prefer to make an online donation instead, you can visit HTC’s website HERE to “purchase” diapers. HTC is a member of the National Diaper Bank Network. This membership gives HTC access to bulk pricing on diapers which allows them to provide more diapers to local families and maximize the impact of each financial contribution.
Thank you for making a big difference in the lives of our smallest neighbors!
