Indiana House lawmakers are partnering with the Indiana Diaper Bank to collect diapers and diapering supplies for Hoosier families as part of the House’s 2026 philanthropy initiative.

House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers), who represents part of Fishers, joined House Democratic Leader Phil GiaQuinta (D-Fort Wayne) in announcing the collection drive, which will run through the end of the 2026 legislative session in February.

The Indiana Diaper Bank works to ensure families across the state have access to essential diapering supplies. The nonprofit partners with 70 distribution organizations statewide and, since 2017, has distributed nearly 19.8 million diapers to more than 294,000 babies.

“We’re proud to partner with the Indiana Diaper Bank this session to support the vital work they do for Hoosier families,” Huston said. “The cost of raising a child adds up quickly, and no baby should ever go without clean diapers.”

The House will accept donations of new or opened packages of diapers in all sizes, pull-ups, wipes, diaper cream and clean cloth diapers. Donation bins are located near the House Chamber entrance and in the fourth-floor South Atrium at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis.

GiaQuinta said the organization provides crucial support for families facing financial strain. “It’s expensive and stressful to be a new parent, and the Indiana Diaper Bank helps Hoosier parents keep their heads above water,” he said.

In addition to physical donations, the House is also accepting monetary contributions to benefit the Indiana Diaper Bank.

Ashley Burns, president and CEO of the Indiana Diaper Bank, said diaper need affects one in two Indiana families. “When babies have access to clean diapers, they are healthier, parents are better able to work and families are more stable,” Burns said.
