On average babies need 6 diapers a day and newborns need more than double that. Not having diapers can lead to less frequent changes causing severe diaper rash, urinary tract and staph infections, and other health conditions.

Supporting Families

The Bayshore Family Success Center is excited to provide a monthly Pop-Up Baby Pantry in partnership with Church of St. Ann and Child Care Resources. Inventory is based on community donations and includes diapers, wipes, rash cream/ointment, and formula. We have been fortunate to have a caring community continuously support us and we are currently well-stocked!

Our Pop-Up Baby Pantry is open the third Wednesday of every month. Please use the form below to register or contact us at familysuccess@ymcanj.org. Registration ends at 2 p.m. the Wednesday before the pantry.

The Bayshore Family Success Center’s Pop-Up Baby Pantry is open to families who live in the Bayshore area which includes Keyport, Union Beach, Keansburg, North Middletown, Port Monmouth, Belford, Leonardo, Atlantic Highlands, and Highlands.
