ARVADA, Colo. (KDVR) — September is Diaper Needs Awareness Month, and a local organization is spreading the word about an issue that is often overlooked — a need for diapers for families who are facing financial hardship during their child’s medical journey.
Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation says children left in soiled diapers for extended periods of time can lead to health risks, and that the foundation is committed to helping these families by providing essential resources, including diapers.
To do this, they are hosting their annual diaper drive, Wednesday, September 24, 2025 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. RMCHF says it wants to make sure every child stays clean, dry, and healthy.
