HR 6138 United States House · 119th Congress

To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program for partnerships between covered basic needs banks and military installations to provide diapers and diapering supplies to military families, and for other purposes.

This bill establishes a pilot program requiring the Secretary of Defense to partner with certified nonprofit diaper banks to provide free diapers and diapering supplies to military families in need. Covered diaper banks must be nonprofit members of the National Diaper Bank Network with at least five years of experience distributing diapers at no cost. The program will connect these banks directly with military installations to address diaper access gaps, with the National Diaper Bank Network providing technical support and evaluating the pilot's effectiveness. It directly affects military families facing financial barriers to basic necessities like diapers, creating a new federal partnership mechanism for support.
