Starting next year, NY families with a young child will be able to receive the Empire State Child Tax Credit, which can help pay for diapers & more. @Raising_NY and partners are working to expand this benefit to families w/lowest-income and immigrant families. #ChildTaxCredit
National Diaper Bank Network@diapernetwork24 Oct 2023
Did you know that diaper need forces parents to miss work and lose wages? According to The NDBN Diaper Check 2023, 1 in 4 parents and caregivers with diaper need reported missing work or school because they didn't have enough diapers to drop their child off at daycare.
