Galveston, TX – The Galveston Diaper Bank (GDB) is honored to announce a generous $5,000 grant from First Presbyterian Church to support its mission of providing diapers, wipes, adult incontinence supplies and feminine products to create a healthier, more dignified environment for low-income and vulnerable families in Galveston County. These essential needs are not covered by public assistance programs like SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, or Medicare and are vital for the health, dignity, and stability of families, seniors, and individuals living with disabilities.
This grant from First Presbyterian Church will help maintain essential inventory at a time of rapidly rising demand. By purchasing supplies in bulk, GDB can stretch resources further and ensure consistent availability for families and individuals, preventing them from having to make the impossible choice between paying rent, putting food on the table, or meeting their most basic care needs.
When our community comes together, we can meet needs that no one should face alone,” said Angela Brown, GDB Board President. “This grant from First Presbyterian Church is more than financial support – it is relief for every parent, caregiver, and senior who relies on us during difficult times.
This announcement comes at an especially meaningful time as September is National Diaper Need Awareness Month, a nationwide effort to shed light on the reality that 1 in 2 U.S. families struggles with diaper need. In recognition, GDB is also launching its first annual giving campaign to expand support for local families and seniors.
