The annual 2News Diaper Drive is back in Salt Lake City, providing the community with an easy way to support local families in need. Diapers are one of the most requested and least donated items, so this drive aims to collect essential supplies for families struggling to afford basic necessities.

Why it matters

Access to diapers is a critical need for many low-income families, as diapers can be prohibitively expensive. The 2News Diaper Drive helps address this gap by encouraging the community to donate diapers and other baby items to support families in the Salt Lake City area.

The details

The 2News Diaper Drive collects diapers, wipes, and other baby supplies that are then distributed to local nonprofits and community organizations to get the items directly into the hands of families in need. The drive has been a yearly event for the local CBS affiliate, relying on community donations to make a tangible difference.

  • The 2News Diaper Drive is an annual event.
  • This year's drive is taking place from April 18-25, 2026.
