The resolution declares the week of September 22 through September 28, 2024, as "Diaper Need Awareness Week" in New Jersey, highlighting the critical issue of Diaper Need, which is the lack of sufficient clean diapers for infants and toddlers. This condition can negatively impact the health and welfare of young children and their families, with statistics indicating that one in three mothers face Diaper Need at some point, and many families resort to delaying diaper changes to conserve supplies. The resolution emphasizes the economic hardship this situation creates for low-income families, as diapers cannot be purchased with food stamps or WIC vouchers, and having an adequate supply is often a requirement for childcare and early education programs.

To address this issue, the resolution encourages state governmental agencies to organize diaper drives to support local diaper banks and organizations that distribute diapers to families in need. It also requests the Governor to issue a proclamation to promote awareness and encourage public participation in activities and programs during Diaper Need Awareness Week. The overall goal is to foster public awareness of Diaper Need and inspire citizens to contribute to alleviating this pressing concern in New Jersey.
