SAN ANTONIO, Texas (May 3, 2021) – Texas Diaper Bank has received funding to help launch two programs for mothers and children in the Greater San Antonio area.

Texas Diaper Bank CEO Jorge Medina remarks, “We are incredibly grateful for our continued partnership with Superior HealthPlan. Together, we are providing much-needed healthcare items to families in crisis.”

Grant funding will be used to support two new initiatives. First, funding will be used to distribute 600 New Mommy Bags, which include a night gown, meal set, cup set, diapers, and wipes. Second, funding will support Texas Diaper Bank in providing 1,200 kits to parents/caregivers that include 3-4 children books and a literacy guide.

In 2020, the Texas Diaper Bank distributed 2.25 million diapers, 213,000 incontinence products, and 832,000 period supplies to more than 75,000 individuals in Bexar County and the surrounding counties. Superior HealthPlan has provided financial support each year to Texas Diaper Bank since 2017.
