ABOUT OUR BASIC NEEDS BANK
(FORMERLY CALLED “DIAPER BANK”)
The Basic Needs Bank at Project MKC exists to fill an unmet critical need for diapers, wipes, toiletries, and period supplies among the most vulnerable in our community. None of the “safety net” programs pay for or provide diapers, not WIC, Food Stamps or Medicare, leaving those with the fewest resources even fewer options. Project MKC distributes over 130,000 diapers, 210,000 wipes, 75,000 period supplies 1,800 toiletry items to our partner agencies.
Below is a list of our partner agencies listed by county. Project MKC DOES NOT distribute diapers from their office. Basic needs are distributed to the partner agencies who then distribute items to those in need at their discretion.

QUESTIONS
If you need help, we have a list of frequently asked questions and answers. Please look for the answer to your question here before calling our office. If you still have a question about our basic needs bank that has not been answered below, please call our office at (330) 758-3434.
Can I come to the office to pick up diapers?
No, the Project MKC Diaper Bank DOES NOT distribute diapers to individuals at our office. The diapers are delivered to our partner locations and the partner locations distribute the diapers.
Do your partner agenices have to give me diapers?
No, we leave full discretion up to the partner agencies as to who recieves diapers and we do not have any say individually who receives diapers.
Please contact the agency prior to going to their offices to make sure that you qualify and to check their office hours. Each agency may have its own set of requirements for qualification in order to receive diapers.
What size/brand of diapers do you distribute?
The Project MKC Basic Needs Bank carries sizes Newborn through Size 6, as well training pants in the sizes 2T-3T, 3T-4T, and 4T-5T. Since, MKC holds a number of diaper drives every year, the diaper bank carries many different brands!
What size/brand of period supplies do you distribute?
The Project MKC Basic Needs Bank carries distributes a variety of period supplies based on access to donations and products we’re able to purchase. We typically carry some version of pads AND tampons, but the brand and variety can vary.
Do you accept donations?
Yes, we definitely do! We accept any size, any brand of diapers and or period supplies or any monetary donation toward our ever expanding basic needs bank. We will also accept packages of clean, opened diapers, so if your little one has grown out of a size, we will gladly take the remaining diapers from that package!
Are diapers repacked or distributed in original packaging?
The Project MKC Basic Needs Bank Volunteers repack the diapers in quantities of 25 diapers per size with saran wrap and labels. This ensures that more people are able to receive a pack of diapers and that the diapers are being distributed as more of an “emergency” supply.
