More detail
The Secretary of Defense would establish a trial program linking military installations with eligible nonprofit organizations. The program would serve military families who need diapers and diapering supplies. Partners must be nonprofits that distribute basic necessities to families for free, belong to the National Diaper Bank Network, and have distributed diapers for at least five years. The Secretary would seek an agreement with that network to help participating organizations run the program and assess its results.
