Join the Circle!

We need you for the GSP Circle of Caring! The GSP Circle of Caring is a way for children, teens, families and individuals to participate in monthly activities that directly benefit people affected by HIV/AIDS in the greater Kansas City Area. We are currently facebooking (is that a word?) to spread the idea (join us at GSP Circle of Caring). Here is our project for the month of June.


Help Us Diaper KC
Imagine having to limit changing your baby to once a day because of an inability to afford diapers. For low income families affected by HIV/AIDS, this is a reality. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Help us diaper KC by donating packs of disposable diapers.
Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t public funds pay for this?
Programs such as food stamps or WIC do not cover diapers. Food pantries and other programs for low income families usually have a small supply of emergency diapers, but not a consistent supply for a family with a baby.

Why not give families cloth diapers?
While cloth diapers are great, they also require the ability to clean and sanitize them. Many of our families do not have on-site laundry facilities. Also, most day care centers require disposable diapers. The lack of access to disposable diapers can affect a parent’s ability to secure adequate employment that may help their family improve their economic situation.

The average cost for diapering a baby in the first year of life is $800.
Help us Diaper KC – donate today!
