Bill > HRes736

This resolution recognizes the critical importance of diapers for infant health and family well-being, highlighting a significant social issue known as "diaper need" - a condition where families lack sufficient clean diapers for their children. The resolution points out that nearly half of U.S. families with young children struggle with diaper need, with diapers costing families $80-$100 monthly and consuming up to 14% of a low-wage family's post-tax income. It emphasizes that insufficient diapers can prevent children from attending childcare programs, cause parents to miss work, and potentially lead to health risks like infections. The resolution supports designating the week of September 15-21, 2025, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week" and acknowledges the work of diaper banks - philanthropically funded organizations that provide free diapers to struggling families. Furthermore, it encourages U.S. citizens to donate to diaper banks and support organizations that help distribute diapers, with the ultimate goal of helping children and families thrive and reach their full potential.
