Diaper Bag Initiative

Join us now in supporting the JLA Diaper Bag Initiative!

The week of March 15-19, 2021, our members will be carrying around diaper bags instead of a purse or handbag, as a part of Junior League of Albuquerque’s Diaper Bag Initiative #AskMeAboutMyDiaperBag.

Our goal with the Diaper Bag Initiative is to bring awareness to the work that the Junior League of Albuquerque is doing in our community.  Proceeds from the Diaper Bag Initiative benefit The Junior League of Albuquerque’s mission and our focus on serving the underserved children in our community.

During the Diaper Bag Initiative, we will be sharing information about the Junior League of Albuquerque’s mission, current and past projects in New Mexico, and how the Junior League of Albuquerque (#JLAbq) has been actively fighting for lasting community change in the Albuquerque since 1934.

Your support makes an immediate impact in Albuquerque!  Funds raised during the Diaper Bag Initiative support our mission, train our members to be leaders in the community and serve on other area non-profit boards, build and expand our partnerships with community agencies and organizations in need of diapers and other basic living essentials, ultimately increasing the number of children we serve in our community.  Thank you for your generous donation to #JLAbq so we can continue to create lasting community change in Albuquerque!

Our Signature Project is the Junior League of Albuquerque’s Diaper Bank – Albuquerque’s only Diaper Bank since 2018.  In the first year of its inception, the Diaper Bank provided almost 5,000 diapers to families in need.  To date, JLA has distributed over 45,000 diapers to the Albuquerque community.

When the COVID-19 pandemic affected our community and many of our non-profit partners were in need of diapers, hygiene supplies, PPE, and even food, the Junior League of Albuquerque redirected all operational spending to focus on helping those in need, and subsequently expanded our Diaper Bank to serve more children and families through our partnerships with Albuquerque area non-profits.  With continued funding, JLA plans to expand our community outreach by also providing basic living essentials and hygiene items.
