The Sandspur Fall/Winter 2024

Dec 2

After seven years, The Junior League of Tampa Diaper Bank is preparing to transition into an independent nonprofit organization. A project that began with a diaper drive to collect 1,000 diapers for inaugural partner Champions for Children, has grown into a complex operation supporting more than 16 organizations and distributing up to 1 million diapers each year. The recommendation to launch was carefully researched and thoughtfully considered before League members voted to move the Diaper Bank from a JLT project to its own nonprofit. The move allows the bank to operate with a single focus: combating diaper need in Tampa Bay. “Our number one priority is to support the Tampa community,” said President Nicki Mohr Hall. “By launching the Diaper Bank, we are setting it up to ensure sustainable service delivery and the opportunity to grow with the needs of our community.”
