Summary Background:

City staff reached out to the Greater DC Area Diaper Bank to inquire about future partnership opportunities and, after an initial application, the City has been invited to submit a formal application for consideration for a 2021 partnership to receive diapers on a regular basis. Final application review and notification are expected in early January.
