Tony Kyasky Fund | Make A Change Diaper Bank

The vision began to take shape as they learned how widespread diaper need is and the ripple effect it has, not only on the child, but the parents, and as a result, the community at large. Distraught by the results of the study, Kim and Mary Ann wanted to do more than coordinate a major diaper drive. They wanted to ‘make a change’ on a bigger scale. And so the Make A Change Diaper Bank was born, evolving from the existing Tony Kyasky Fund.

The Tony Kyasky Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization created in 1998 to provide scholarships to local students in need and has since been providing funds for charities and local causes. In November 2013, the Fund formed Make A Change Diaper Bank to raise awareness and to help alleviate diaper need for families in Northern NJ. Through amazing partner agencies, free diapers are distributed to the most vulnerable children in the community.

With the generous support of the community, Make A Change has distributed over 50,000 diapers in less than 2 years.
