Parent Promise

Did you know?

According to the 2026 Kids Count Data, 179,000 Oklahoma children live in poverty. With food and housing costs continuing to rise, many families have little to no room in their budgets for essentials like diapers.

Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep an infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. Experiencing diaper need can contribute to adverse health and educational outcomes, increased stress, financial hardship, and food insecurity for children and families.

Last month alone, the Parent Promise Family Resource Center served 276 families. Every family who walks through our doors receives caring, nonjudgmental support. Along with providing diapers, wipes, and other household essentials, our Family Resource Navigator connects each family with available resources to help increase their stability and well-being.
