HELP US REACH OUR GOAL OF $125,000!

Will you help us stay on track?

In 2024 NIN provided 225,000 diapers and 30,000 bottles of formula and other basic goods, helping over 725 children each month; in 2025 we expect the number of families seeking diapers for their children to rise significantly.

This Valentine’s Day let’s make a difference and give love to mom and child and help us alleviate diaper need in Greater Lawrence from the bottom up.

Join our Valentine’s Diaper Train and help us stay on track.
