Metropolitan Detroit Diaper Bank is a 501(c)3 organization and will be happy to provide you with information for tax purposes.

Cash vs Dollars

Your generous, tax-deductible, cash donation to Metropolitan Detroit Diaper Bank will help keep us running and expanding. Your donation of dollars means we can provide clean diapers to more babies and families living in poverty. 

As a nonprofit and a recognized member of the National Diaper Bank Network, we have access to super special purchasing programs that allow us to obtain the exact sizes and quantities of diapers we need, when we need them, and most importantly, at deeply discounted rates. 

This means your cash donations help us purchase 2 to 3 times more diapers than what you could buy at a retail store. 

Simply put, we make your dollars go farther, and we save you a trip to the store!  

That’s what we call a win win!
