San Francisco Makes Free Diapers Available for Anyone on Public Benefits
“Mayor London Breed, in conjunction with the SF Human Services Agency, announced the expansion on Friday and claims it is the nation’s first city-funded program to provide diapers to low income residents on public benefits. The City says it will double the number of eligible families.
Diapers are often overlooked as necessary donations to charity organizations and can cost an average of $80 to $100 a month in the Bay Area.
The diaper program in SF had previously only been available to people through CalWORKs and CalFresh, the mayor’s office said. It is now available to Medi-Cal recipients as well.”
