PHOENIX — Eligible families can receive free diapers from the Maricopa County Department of Human Services.
The new “Diaper Bank” will gift more than 700,000 diapers to families around Maricopa County.
Diapers will also be provided to Maricopa County residents outside of Phoenix, Glendale, and Mesa. Anyone enrolled in the Maricopa County Head Start Program is also eligible.
