Mission: The Nappie Project is dedicated to ensuring that children in Loveland, Fort Collins and surrounding communities have an adequate supply of diapers to remain clean, dry and healthy. We are committed to raising awareness of diaper need and its impact on families.
As a Diaper Bank, The Nappie Project does not distribute diapers directly to families, but distributes through a network of partner agencies in Ft. Collins and Loveland. In our first year, The Nappie Project limited our focus to Loveland and set a goal of distributing 50,000 diapers. By the end of 2016, we exceeded that goal by over 12,000 diapers and had expanded our network of partner agencies to include Ft. Collins agencies.
As of January 2019 we have 12 partner agencies, and in July 2019 we surpassed a half million diapers distributed free of charge to families in need in our communities. The need is huge- exacerbated by the cost of living along the Front Range, and the fact that child care is expensive. Colorado is ranked 7th out of 50 states, and the District of Columbia, for the most expensive child care. *We know we are not fully meeting the need that exists.
