CalOptima Health will host a free diaper distribution event for families with infants and young children on Saturday, September 20, in Garden Grove.
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at the Civic Center, 118 Monarch St. Thousands of diapers, along with wipes and baby items, will be available at no cost to Orange County families.
The giveaway is part of National Diaper Need Awareness Week and is organized in partnership with the Community Action Partnership of Orange County. According to the National Diaper Bank Network, one in two U.S. families struggles to provide enough diapers to keep babies and toddlers clean, dry, and healthy.
In addition to supplies, attendees will be connected with local resources that support families in need.
CalOptima Health, the county’s Medi-Cal health insurance plan, provides coverage for more than 275,000 children, representing nearly 40% of all children in Orange County.
