Organiser's Description
Alaska Adoption Services is hosting it's 3rd annual Diaper Dash. Join us as we raise awareness and funds for the Community Diaper Pantry, a program of Alaska Adoption Services providing free diapers and wipes to families in need! We invite you to participate as an individual or on a team and fundraise to stock the diaper pantry! This is a family friendly event and fun for people of all ages! Grab your family, neighbors and colleagues and sign up today!
In 2021, Alaska Adoption Services (AAS) saw a need in the community for families struggling to afford diapers for their children. AAS responded to that need by opening the Community Diaper Pantry. To date, AAS has provided over 420,000 diapers to families in need in Anchorage serving 1150 families. In 2023 alone, we provided 193,000 diapers and this year we've provided 143,000 so far! Diaper need is a lack of an adequate supply of diapers to keep an infant clean, healthy and dry. Diapers cannot be purchased with any form of government assistance, and 1 in 2 U.S. families struggle to afford them. If they cannot purchase diapers for their children, then they are unable to send their child to daycare and unable to go to work or school. Diapers range from $80-$100 per month per child. We believe every Alaskan baby deserves to have a clean diaper and we are here to help!
We will begin the run at the Tudor Elementary School off Cache Dr. The race will be timed in partnership with Skinny Raven.
