For diapers, try the diaper bank. They provide free diapers and other assistance.
Website

The Diaper Bank (TDB) centralizes the fundraising and distribution of free diapers to poor families through existing service providers, including local food pantries, soup kitchens, daycare centers, social service agencies and shelters. Through its extensive Diaper Distribution Network (DDN) of more than 50 agencies, TDB provides over 200,000 free diapers monthly to poor and low-income families in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hartford.

The Diaper Bank’s mission is threefold in scope:1) to ensure that families living in poverty have an adequate supply of diapers for their infants and toddlers;

2) to raise community awareness that “basic human needs” include diapers and that these needs are not being met for children living in poverty;

3) to advocate for policy reform so that diapers are included in the definition of and provision for the “basic human needs” of families

Diapers, wipes and food. Food banks in my area can only give so much and I can’t sustain my family on what they gave me. Also welfare said my fiancé makes too much money to receive food stamps. Which I don't understand, he works his but off, and after bills are paid he has just enough money for gas to get to and from work. Diapers are so expensive there is no way we can afford them. We survive on foodbanks and local charities. Please help us, family of 5, children’s ages are 2 year old boy and two girls ages 7 and 9.

There are diaper banks to try. As you said, they are very expensive so maybe getting free items from there will free up your income for the food, wipes, etc. But yes, continue to use a food bank too. There is nothing wrong with that. Just keep working hard, saving money, get promotions, etc. and eventually your need for diapers and food banks will diminish. But here are the resources to contact, and read free diaper programs.

Hello, I am a single mom looking for assistance with diapers, school supplies and school uniforms... If possible. My income isn't much doesn't leave much to purchase these items without juggling my bills, medications, or diapers for my two new grandchildren. Please help however you can and it will be greatly appreciated!

Since you have a new baby, then the supplies for that kid should take priority. Use this to find diapers for free, as there are charities, so called diaper banks, thrift stores, churches, and much more. We are sure one of those places can help you.

Hi, my name is Anisha Miller. I have 4 kids. We live in a 3 bedroom apartment and need diapers. I work a part time job I get paid every two weeks. This month has been a little hard for us. Our lights got cut off and I had to use my first paycheck to cut it back on. My son needs diapers and wipes and now I have no money to pay our rent. I have filled out for section 8 and they said I was on the waiting list. I was trying to see if there will be a little bit assistance you can help with paying my rent this month and more diapers so I’ll be able to pay it for next month.

You had 3 kids, could not afford them, then had a 4th? Bad decision. Probably a life of poverty for your kids. You are going to put your kids through that. But try a free diaper program in Phiadelphia. At least maybe you can get your kids that little amount of help.
