LOGAN — A Utah nonprofit that provides diapers and essential supplies to families in crisis is working to build a new diaper bank and community resource center in Logan, a project leaders say is critical to keeping up with growing statewide demand.
Little Lambs Foundation for Kids, the only direct-service diaper bank in Utah, has outgrown its current space after more than a decade of expansion. The organization now serves tens of thousands of individuals each year, reaching families in every part of the state, including children in foster care, teen parents, families fleeing domestic violence, people experiencing homelessness and hospital partners such as Primary Children’s Hospital.
The nonprofit has secured property at 1482 N. 800 West in Logan, where it plans to construct a 12,000-square-foot Diaper Bank and Community Resource Center. The new facility will expand storage and distribution capacity while also providing classroom space for maternal and parental health education.
While diapers remain the organization’s core service, Little Lambs also distributes wipes, hygiene items, clothing and Comfort Kits for children entering foster care. The group additionally functions as a resource hub, connecting families to services through partnerships with more than 90 agencies statewide, including WIC, the Division of Child and Family Services, health care providers and community organizations.
The need for those services continues to grow. In 2025 alone, Little Lambs distributed more than 2 million diapers statewide, serving more than 725 families each month. Since 2018, the organization has distributed more than 6.8 million diapers and redistributed more than 2.3 million essential items across Utah.
Families served by the nonprofit often face difficult choices driven by rising food, housing and childcare costs. The organization reports assisting parents forced to choose between diapers and groceries, mothers fleeing unsafe situations with few belongings, grandparents suddenly caring for infants, student parents balancing school and childcare expenses, and kinship and foster families receiving children with no supplies.
The Logan facility is designed to directly address those challenges by allowing Little Lambs to provide larger and more consistent diaper distributions, expand storage so families are not turned away, offer maternal health education and teen parent support, and create safe, dignified spaces for families seeking help.
The project is considered shovel-ready. The property was purchased in 2025 with support from a State of Utah appropriation and private donations. Engineering and site plans were completed through donated services from Cartwright Architects & Engineers, and planning and zoning approvals have been secured. The organization has also received support from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to help move the project forward.
A capital campaign is now underway to fund remaining construction costs. To date, $997,000 has been raised toward a $1.55 million Phase 1 goal. Little Lambs is seeking additional community support through monetary donations, business sponsorships, in-kind construction assistance and grassroots fundraising efforts.
Organizers say the new Logan-based facility will strengthen statewide partnerships and allow services to grow alongside rising need, providing a more stable safety net for Utah’s youngest and most vulnerable children.
