Throughout the academic year, the Civic and Community Engagement Office will highlight the efforts of our community-engaged and service-learning faculty members and community partners. We are grateful to all our faculty members who are engaged in this important work.

This semester, Every Bottom Covered has partnered with COM 418: Campaigns in Public Relations, taught by Therese J. Fuerst, lecturer in the Communication Department. This fantastic organization is working toward positive change in the community by addressing the need for diapers. Buffalo State students in this course will develop public relations strategies, make recommendations based on best practices, and apply their knowledge and skills to an existing community issue and need.

Did you know September 21–27, 2020, is National Diaper Need Awareness Week? National Diaper Need Awareness Week draws attention to the issue of diaper need in the United States. A signature initiative of the National Diaper Bank Network launched in 2012, the week provides individuals, organizations, communities, and elected officials with the opportunity to engage in real talk and simple actions.

We are very proud to partner with Every Bottom Covered, the first and only diaper bank in Western New York and a certified member of the National Diaper Bank Network. There are many ways to give support. You can volunteer your time and talents in areas such as fundraising, diaper drives, in-kind and monetary donations, partner distribution, and day-to-day operations. You can also follow Every Bottom Covered on social media and share information.

Every Bottom Covered happily accepts the following items:

• Disposable diapers sizes N–6
• Pull-ups
• Wipes and diaper cream
• Gently used baby clothing
• Adult diapers (S–XL)
• Feminine hygiene products
• Leftover and opened packages are also welcome
