Clewiston Proclaims National Diaper Need Awareness Week

CLEWISTON – The City of Clewiston recognized National Diaper Need Awareness Week at its City Commission meeting on Sept. 24, 2026. The observance highlights the public health and economic challenges families face due to a lack of diapers.

Diaper need, defined as the inability to provide clean, dry diapers for a baby or toddler, affects many families and carries economic and health implications. Proclamations support diaper banks that provide these essential supplies, improving infant well-being and community health.

Clewiston officials expressed pride in supporting the Healthy Start Coalition of Southwest Florida Diaper Bank, which provides diapers to families facing hardship. This organization contributes to improved family health and economic stability.

City officials thanked the Healthy Start Coalition's staff, volunteers, and donors. Residents can support local diaper banks and drives to help families in need. The city believes collective action will provide Clewiston's children and families with necessary resources.
