Sam's Club and Huggies® Partner to Donate Up to One Million Diapers to the National Diaper Bank Network
During the month of February, for each pack of Huggies purchased at Sam's Club, Huggies will donate a day's worth of diapers to the national nonprofit, National Diaper Bank Network, up to one million diapers total
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
