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 experience Diaper Need at some point, and many families resort to delaying diaper changes to conserve supplies. The resolution emphasizes the economic hardship faced by low-income families, as diapers cannot be purchased with food stamps or WIC vouchers, and underscores the importance of diapers for eligibility in childcare and early education programs.

To promote awareness and alleviate Diaper Need, the resolution encourages state governmental agencies to organize diaper drives and calls upon the Governor to issue a proclamation urging public officials and citizens to participate in activities and programs during Diaper Need Awareness Week. The initiative aims to foster community support for local diaper banks and organizations that provide essential resources to families in need, ultimately contributing to improved health and economic stability for low-income families in New Jersey.
