The Nevada County Diaper Project has announced their partnership with First 5 Nevada County Commission through a generous grant received from the Nevada County Housing and Community Services Division. This funding will enhance The Nevada County Diaper Project’s reach to families in need of diapers and wipes throughout the region.

The Nevada County Diaper Project, founded in 2009 by a group of people led by Cathy Fagan, The Nevada County Diaper Project began distributing diapers to needy families.
