Houston Council Members Offer Free Diapers
A community drive scheduled for Saturday at the Acres Homes Multi-Service Center will provide baby and adult diapers to local families.
By Ryan Carter ·
Two Houston City Council members are joining local organizations to distribute free diapers and essential items to residents. The effort aims to assist families dealing with the cost of everyday necessities.
Council Member Edward Pollard has previously partnered with Hugs & Diapers to help families afford basic supplies. This upcoming event expands that work by adding Council Member Tarsha Jackson and two additional partners. The Houston Health Department and the Texas Diaper Bank are also participating in the distribution.
The diaper drive is set for Saturday, November 7, 2026. Organizers will begin handing out supplies at 10 a.m. The event will continue at the Acres Homes Multi-Service Center until the stock runs out. The center is located at 6719 W. Montgomery Road in Houston.
The distribution will include both baby and adult diapers. Organizers state that all items are free of charge. Residents are encouraged to attend while supplies last. No specific registration or appointment is mentioned for the event.
Pollard and Jackson are leading the local political side of the partnership. The community groups handle the logistics of the goods. This joint effort combines previous outreach by Pollard with new alliances formed for this specific weekend event.
