Brooklyn Diaper Project

A Moore Family Charitable Foundation project. Concluded 2025, after six years.

The Brooklyn Diaper Project began in spring 2020, at the height of the pandemic, shipping individual boxes of diapers to newly immigrated families caring for immunocompromised members who couldn't safely leave home. Individual orders grew into full pallet distributions, and the project grew to include a successful mutual aid effort and encompassed more than a dozen community partners across New York City.

In Brooklyn's District 39, the project's diaper hub proposal won its neighborhood's participatory budgeting vote. When city funding fell through on a bureaucratic technicality, the foundation honored the promise despite the city’s shortcoming and funded and built the hubs itself. They launched in May 2021 as self-serve, take-what-you-need sites.

Over six years, the Brooklyn Diaper Project distributed more than 500,000 diapers to New York families in need.

It is no longer accepting inquiries or distributing diapers.
