After years of planning, Westchester County's Diaper Bank is officially up and running.
Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino officially launched the county's first-ever diaper bank Monday.
The bank is run by the Junior League of Central Westchester in partnership with the county.
Officials at the Scarsdale-based organization say so-called "Diaper Deprivation" is affecting hundreds of Westchester families.
Eligible Westchester families will receive a one-week supply of diapers three times a year.
JLCW officials say so far, they've collected more than 100,000 diapers to distribute to Westchester families in need.
