Keeping Babies Healthy

HRPCH’s Diaper Bank is the only Diaper Bank in Bexar County distributing diapers in two ways.

Through our Help Program a family can receive an emergency package of diapers once every 6 months.

Through our partnership with the Methodist Healthcare Ministries’ Wesley Nurses, HRPCH offers Parenting Education Classes, where upon successful attendance parents are able to receive a package of diapers each time they attend a class. These classes teach the parents the proper way to care for their child including lessons on feeding, child development, safety, health, and many more.

Parents that attend the Parenting Education classes receive a package of diapers each time they attend. In addition, parents also receive “Baby Bucks” that can be used to purchase baby items at the HRPCH sponsored baby boutique. This boutique offers wipes, blankets, bottles, and numerous other items that are essential needs for a baby.
