Diaper Depot
In 2018 Junior League of Topeka donated the Diaper Depot to Community Action. It is now housed underneath their programs. One in three families in Shawnee County struggle to provide enough diapers monthly for their children. Diaper Depot strives to alleviate some stress of providing diapers, which can help families focus on other needs. Government assistance programs do not provide help with diapers, so we created a way for families to get a free package of diapers each month. Diaper Depot is the only diaper bank in Shawnee County.
