Bay Area Diaper Bank has suspended operations for multiple reasons including
lack of funding and our primary volunteer moving out of the Bay Area. We are searching for an individual or organization that would be interested in working with us. We are also exploring alternatives to our current structure. Please contact us if you know of any interested parties. |
