“Families are still feeling the ripple effect of the pandemic. But also, the rising cost of diapers,” Crystal Parks, founder of the Diaper Bank for Northeast Florida said. “If you were struggling to afford diapers pre-pandemic, I would imagine that you’re having an even more difficult time trying to purchase them.”
It’s been a busy several years for Parks and the diaper bank. She says the pandemic made it harder for families already struggling to afford diapers for their children, and now, lingering inflation is compounding that need.
