Sam's Club and Huggies® Partner to Donate Up to One Million Diapers to the National Diaper Bank Network

NEENAH, Wis., Jan. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- One in three American families experience diaper need¹, which is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to help a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy. Diaper need is a public health issue that can result from poverty, unexpected life hardships, natural disasters, and so much more.

Now through Feb. 28, 2022, Sam's Club members can help make a difference for families experiencing diaper need by purchasing one pack of Huggies^® diapers at their local Sam's Club, or online, and one day's worth of diapers will be donated by the Huggies brand to the National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN), up to one million diapers². NDBN is a national nonprofit dedicated to providing basic necessities required to build the strong foundations all children, families, and individuals need to thrive and reach their full potential.

"Working to help end diaper need and raise awareness of this critical issue in America is something incredibly important to the Huggies brand," said Robert Raines, Vice President of Huggies North America. "We've been a long-time partner of the National Diaper Bank Network, and together with the support of Sam's Club, we'll be able to help thousands of families across America and help babies thrive."

In addition to the Huggies brand donating a day's worth of diapers per every package of Huggies purchased at Sam's Club nationwide, Sam's Club members can also take advantage of in-club savings of $8 off when you buy one package of Huggies^® diapers and one package of Huggies^® wipes in the same transaction.³

Huggies is proud to be the founding sponsor of the National Diaper Bank Network, which has 225+ member diaper banks across the country. Since 2011, Huggies has donated more than 300 million diapers and wipes to the National Diaper Bank Network to help families across the country in need.
