Quick Answer
The GladRags and PDX Diaper Bank partnership provides free reusable period and diaper supplies to local families who cannot afford them, addressing both period poverty and diaper need in the Portland community.
Why This Partnership Matters
Diaper need and period poverty often overlap. Many families must choose between buying diapers or period products. Reusable options like cloth pads and diapers can be a lifeline, but the upfront cost is a barrier. This partnership bridges that gap by distributing starter kits at no cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PDX Diaper Bank?

How does the partnership work?
GladRags provides starter and stronger reusable period kits. The PDX Diaper Bank distributes them to local families who cannot afford basic period supplies. This is not a physical product you receive—it's a donation that directly supports the community.
