Nashville Diaper Connection, World's Largest Diaper Drive Initiative

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Jerry Rosa, Operations Director for Nashville Diaper Connection, who discusses the organization's efforts and mission "to connect families with diapers because every baby deserves a healthy start." Jerry explains how Nashville Diaper Connection began in 2013 when founder Doug Adair identified diaper need as a critical unmet community requirement, growing from distributing 18,000 diapers in a garage to now providing 4.5 million diapers annually across 28 counties, serving approximately 7,000 babies monthly. The organization operates through three main programs: community partnerships with 50 organizations, health connections providing diapers as incentives for medical visits, and Diapers for Diploma offering 200 diapers monthly to 25 campus students. Jerry shares personal stories from deliveries demonstrating the significant impact of their work, including a scene where families waited over an hour for diaper distribution. The organization's core values focus on dignity, equity, and strong community partnerships, with volunteers contributing 9,000 hours annually to help package diapers for distribution.
