Athens Area Diaper Bank

What Athens Area Diaper Bank does

Athens Area Diaper Bank is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in October 2015 by Erin Campbell in Bogart/Athens, Georgia, to address diaper need among low-income families in the Athens region. The organization collects and redistributes diapers at no cost to recipient families because U.S. federal safety-net programs (SNAP, Medicaid, WIC) do not cover diapers, leaving roughly 1 in 2 American families with young children struggling to keep infants clean and dry. Recipient families are reached through two programmatic channels: a Partner Agency Program that works with more than 40 local agencies at 100+ distribution sites where families already access trusted social services, and a Mobile Diaper Distribution Program launched in 2024 to serve rural communities with limited fixed-site access (targeting 1,000 children and 50,000 diapers annually). Since inception the organization has delivered over 3.5 million diapers to more than 80,000 children, including 824,295 diapers to 17,800 children in 2024 alone, with current monthly partner-agency throughput above 65,000 diapers.

The revenue model is donations- and grants-driven rather than transactional: cash and in-kind diaper donations are accepted from individuals, corporate sponsors, diaper drives, and recurring events such as Bowling for Bottoms and the Taste the Town Raffle; institutional support comes from the National Diaper Bank Network and the Alliance for Period Supplies (including a 2023 Funds for Change grant). The core technology stack is limited to diaper distribution and inventory management through its partner-agency network, with no proprietary platform, public API, or app; the website is the primary inbound channel for both diaper requests and donor acquisition. The organization operates with a four-person leadership team — Executive Director/Founder Erin Campbell, Operations Manager Shona Foster, Director of Programs Michelle Brinson, and Director of Development Kelsey Ripley — supported by a Board of Directors (Board President J.E. Turner of Coca-Cola) and a broader volunteer base. It became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2018 after operating under the fiscal sponsorship of the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia from 2015.

Others

• National Diaper Bank Network: National trade association and membership body for diaper banks across the United States. The subject is an affiliated member; comparable because it operates in the same diaper-distribution/advocacy domain and administers grants such as the 2023 Funds for Change award.
• Food Bank of Northeast Georgia: Regional food bank that served as fiscal sponsor of the Athens Area Diaper Bank from 2015-2018 before it incorporated as its own 501(c)(3). Directly comparable in operational scope and infrastructure for distributing physical goods to families in need across Northeast Georgia.
• March of Dimes: National nonprofit focused on the health of pregnant women and infants. Thematically aligned mission and direct overlap with the diaper-need beneficiary population, and operates in the same corporate and individual donor categories.

Broad incumbents

• Baby2Baby: National nonprofit that distributes diapers, clothing, and other essentials to children living in poverty. Directly comparable mission and beneficiary base as the Athens Area Diaper Bank, but operating at national scale with celebrity-backed fundraising and a much larger staff.
• Cradles to Crayons: Nonprofit providing essential items — including diapers — to children experiencing poverty through distribution centers. Same beneficiary population and material-assistance model as the subject, but with a broader product scope and regional operating geographies.

Direct peers

• Good+ Foundation: National nonprofit distributing baby gear and diapers to families in need through a partner agency network that closely mirrors the Athens Area Diaper Bank's Partner Agency Program. Operationally and structurally highly comparable in last-mile distribution to low-income families.

Regional players

Comparable operating model (warehouse-based distribution to partner agencies) and geographic adjacency to the Athens Area Diaper Bank.
