The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) is partnering with Depend, a Kimberly-Clark brand, to distribute 2.1 million pairs of absorbent underwear to basic needs banks around the country in recognition of NDBN’s 15th anniversary year in 2026.

The donated products will be shipped via 15 tractor-trailer trucks to 15 NDBN-member basic needs banks serving communities in 11 U.S. states.

“Bladder leaks affect 100 million women & men in the U.S., and many people struggle to afford the supplies they need,” says Joanne Samuel Goldblum, CEO and founder of the National Diaper Bank Network. “More and more, we are seeing people turning to basic needs banks for help. This generous donation from Depend will help improve lives of individuals and families in communities across the country.”

Founded in 2011 with support from Huggies, NDBN has grown into a network of more than 300 basic needs banks throughout the U.S. Many NDBN members distribute baby diapers, and/or period products, as well as bladder protection supplies.
