Key Points

  • This bill would create a new fund to help military families who are struggling to afford diapers and other baby supplies. The Department of Defense would give $1 million each year from 2027 to 2030 to a national nonprofit group to run the program.
  • To get the federal money, the National Diaper Bank Network must match it with an equal amount of private donations or supplies. This means at least $2 million worth of help would be available for military families every year.
  • The money will go to local diaper banks that are located within 20 miles of a military base. These banks must have already been helping their communities for at least five years to qualify for the funding.
  • This program aims to help younger or lower-ranking service members who often face high living costs and may struggle to pay for basic necessities like diapers, which can cost a family around $1,000 a year per child.
