The Open Door set up the only Diaper Bank on the North Shore. We purchase diapers wholesale to ensure low-income families have access to new diapers for their children.

Our local partners, including North Shore Postpartum Depression Task Force, Ipswich Birth to Three, Action Inc., Pathways for Children (our local Head Start provider) and the Integrated Preschool in Gloucester, have been instrumental in our success.
