Our Mission

To provide diapers and wipes to those in need through local food pantries and community service organizations.  Our Vision is that the families in our community will be able to live in a diaper stress-free environment and have access to all basic essentials.

Our Program

Bare Necessities partners with social service agencies and food pantries along the shoreline.  Through these partnerships we are able to supply diapers and wipes to those families that have been identified by the agencies as having a need.  We are the only recognized diaper bank on the CT shoreline.

Our Partners

We have been very fortunate to have received grants from: The Community Foundation of Middlesex County, The Guilford Foundation, and The Westbrook Foundation. We have also received support from Essex Savings Bank, Guilford Savings Bank, and many private donors.

As a result, with these generous contributions and the help of our team of volunteers, we were able to increase the number of families we support. In 2015 we began serving 5 families.  By 2016, we increased that number to 115 families, and currently, we are providing diapers and wipes to over 275 families.

Additionally, we partnered with the Law Enforcement Community along the Shoreline to have our first Law Enforcement Diaper Drive.  The success of this diaper drive allowed us to begin providing diapers to the Branford
Community Dining Program, Old Saybrook’s Social Service Program, and significantly supplement our distribution in Guilford, Madison and Clinton. We look forward to working with each of these agencies in the future in an effort to eliminate diaper need in the Shoreline Community
