Diaper Bank of North Carolina

Diaper Bank of North Carolina

(2 reviews)

The Diaper Bank of North Carolina is located in Durham, NC. It is sort of like a food bank in a…read moresense but instead of food they partner with 18 agencies to provide diapers; feminine products and incontinence products to those with a need for them. They want each family to have access to basic necessities for better health; dignity and quality of life. Since 2013, they have distributed over 15 million diapers. I volunteered for a two hour shift at the diaper bank. You are in a warehouse that is not climate control but there are fans. We were provided instructions how to repackage the diapers and rewrap the new bundles in plastic wrap. In that 2 hour time frame, everyone there repackaged 19,500 diapers so that was impressive. If you are looking for an agency to volunteer or donate this one serves a good purpose.

Most of us do not spend a lot of time thinking about diapers. But if you are a parent, grandparent,…read moreor caregiver without enough of them, they can become a major source of stress, guilt, and desperation. Public safety net programs such as The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, previously known as Food Stamps) do not cover the purchase of diapers, often leaving families with a difficult decision between buying diapers and other necessities with their limited funds. For families in need, something as small as a diaper can have a significant impact. They are located at the corner of Kiss Dr. and Club Boulevard, you'll make a left and we are inside the green fence on the right. The temperature inside the warehouse is the same as the outside, so it is important to dress appropriately and to also wear closed-toe shoes. Each volunteer needs to complete the online volunteer waiver before attending the event (http://bit.ly/diaperwrap), but they also have hard copies on hand when you come in person. To get ahead of the new volunteer orientation, you can watch their diaper wrapping tutorial: https://vimeo.com/100922984

First time coming here, and I would give 5 stars if not for the exorbitant pricing. Adults costing…read moremore than kids at that, for a kids museum has always rubbed me wrong. But this place is quite expansive with several areas including wildlife, butterfly and insect garden, a train tour that takes 2 laps around (might as well get it for the $6 a ticket), and several outdoor play areas including a tree house and mist/water areas. Place was crowded, but there were still plenty of spaces available at 10:30 in the garage. If I lived closer, I might consider a membership to save costs, but I live too far currently to justify that. The cafe food was mid, and again too expensive. The pricing for me knocks a star off, but if you've never been and are prepared to spend a couple hundred bucks for the day on a family of 4, you'll probably enjoy!

We spent a day at this location while visiting family in North Carolina. We had a lovely experience…read moreand found the location to be quite expansive. There is a lovely wildlife area, butterfly garden, fun little train tour, an outdoor treehouse, and more. The price was quite high, but I imagine based on the number of staff and the animals that this location is quite expensive to maintain. The little gift shop was also great with lots of children's games, clothing items, toys, and more. If I was in the area I would definitely consider an annual pass. All of the staff were lovely from the train driver to the ticket takers. Fun location!

Thank you for everything you do for the community! I've had a wonderful experience fostering and…read moreadopting through APS. The animals are sweet, healthy, and simply need a little TLC. I highly recommend visiting - it's free and a great way to meet adorable pets looking for loving homes.

Oh, all these sweet babies need homes!…read more I dropped by today to donate some needed towels and several boxes of cute gingerbread dog biscuits I found at Aldi. The young lady at the counter said to put them under the Christmas tree where I saw about a dozen different types of animal donations. Unfortunately my spouse is highly allergic to animals, but I love dogs so I just donate what I can from time to time. I asked if I could take a look at the dogs even tho we can't adopt. Not only was I told yes, but if I wanted cuddle time with any just let her know. Be still my heart! So I went back to the kennel area and the first dog greeted me with non stop barking. Well, that's a fine howdy do! Turns out all the kennels were full and this first dog was the only one making a racket. The rest were so eager and friendly with tails waging wildly and eyes that begged to be taken home. They really tugged at my heart strings and by the time I reached the last kennel my eyes were welling up. I knew cuddle time with any one of them would make me have a major eye leak so said my good byes to them and said their new homes and owners would be there soon. As I opened the door from the kennel area a young couple was making their way to it. I gave them a heads up on the loud one in the first kennel, but said the rest would be happy to see them. Fingers crossed they didn't go home without one of these sweet pups!
