OC Families Have Less Options As Diaper Bank Loses Funding

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — A vital resource to the Orange County community may be closed, after the Orange County Diaper Bank announced that it may lose its funding in June, NBC Los Angeles reported.

“We are receiving signals that it’s unlikely in this fiscal environment that the state of California is going to have the amount of money or potentially any money to continue to support existing operations of the diaper banks,” Director Mark Lowry told NBC Los Angeles.
