HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — With one out of every two Connecticut families struggling to afford diapers, advocates gathered Wednesday to urge more funding to help get supplies to those in need.

Diaper Connections has provided more than 2 million diapers to more than 3,000 children within the last two years.

Janet Stolfi Alfano, the CEO of the Diaper Bank of Connecticut, asked lawmakers to add more longterm funding, calling it a “great partnership.”
