Dollars for Diapers

Dollars for Diapers

  • Google Calendar ICS

Let’s Keep Lexington's Babies Happy and Healthy!

Every day, families in our community face the difficult decision of choosing between essentials like food, rent, and diapers. The Nest in Lexington, Kentucky, is here to provide critical support—but we can’t do it alone.

Help us raise $8,000 to fully fund the diaper need at The Nest for all of 2025!

Prefer to buy diapers and have them delivered? 


Why Diapers Matter

  • 1 in 3 families in the U.S. struggles to afford enough diapers to keep their babies clean and dry.

  • Babies without clean diapers are more likely to experience rashes, infections, and other health issues.

  • Government assistance programs like SNAP and WIC don’t cover diapers, leaving many families without options.

 

How Your Support Helps

Every dollar you donate goes directly to purchasing diapers for families in need right here in Lexington. By participating in the Dollars for Diapers Diaper Drive, you’re providing more than just diapers—you’re giving peace of mind, health, and dignity to local families.

 

Get Involved

  • Donate Funds: A $50 donation diapers a Lexington baby for a month!

  • Host a Drive: Gather your friends, coworkers, or community groups to collect diapers or raise funds.

  • Spread the Word: Share our message on social media and encourage others to join the cause. Use the hashtag #DiapersForLex to show your support!

 

How to Donate

Donating is easy! Visit www.thenestlexington.org/donate to contribute securely online. Prefer to donate diapers instead? Drop them off at The Nest’s location at 530 N Limestone St., Lexington, KY 40508 during business hours.

 

Together, We Can Make a Difference

By supporting The Nest through the Dollars for Diapers Drive, you’re directly impacting the lives of children and families in our community. Join us today to ensure every baby in Lexington has the diapers they need to thrive!
