Getting started as a Partner Agency
Each year, we provide diapers to numerous non-profit agencies working with low-income families. If you would like to become a Partner Agency, please contact info@diaperbankaz.org to add your agency to our partner agency waitlist. New agencies are accepted every fiscal year and the application process to become a partner starts in the spring.
