Sieda Community Action is happy to offer our Diaper Pantry Program to assist parents living in poverty. A monthly supply of diapers for one child can cost between $70 and $80. As a result, parents try to make do with the diapers they can afford. Which leads to severe diaper rash and other health problems.

However, the Diaper Pantry Program will ease the cost burden for parents living in poverty by supplementing their young children’s diaper needs. Sieda provides diapers to parents or legal guardians of children needing diapers that live in Appanoose and Wapello Counties. Diapers will be provided per child (sizes N – 6), once a month while supplies last.

The application for diapers is linked below. You may print your packet or pick it up in the foyer of the 725 W. Second Street Sieda Office in Ottumwa or 111 N Main Street in Centerville. Please have both sides of the application completed.
