Milwaukee Diaper Mission celebrates 5 years of supporting the community

Back in 2020 Meagan Johnson learned about the pressing need that many families have for diapers. In Milwaukee – and nationwide - one in two families face diaper needs due to cost and systemic barriers. Johnson wanted to help make cloth and disposable diapers more accessible in Milwaukee, and she discovered that there was no local diaper bank. So, she started the Milwaukee Diaper Mission along with Jessica Syburg – collecting diapers, wipes, and period products to distribute out of her own garage. Today, the Milwaukee Diaper Mission has grown to become a reliable source for families in need. To date, they’ve distributed 3-point-6 million diapers and 1-point-5 million period products. Meagan Johnson joins Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski to share more about their growth these last five years – and how they want to continue to expand.
