At WIN Warehouse, we provide essential resources at a fraction of retail prices to our Members, 501(c)3 nonprofits. Our online catalog is full of vital products, but writing about all of them in one blog would be impossible.
For this installment of our “Product Spotlight” series, we would like to highlight our ample supply of Huggies® diapers and Pull-Ups® available to our Nonprofit Members.
These days, everything is more expensive, including necessities like diapers. Some companies charge as much as $99 for a 144-count pack of diapers!
Please keep reading for the most up-to-date diaper statistics, how WIN’s diaper prices compare to the current retail market prices, and how our Members benefit from our diaper inventory.

Bread of Life Pentecostal Church
WIN’s relationship with The Bread of Life Pentecostal Church is strong.
In our WIN Success Story, featuring the church, Pastor Battle of the church said, “The resources aren’t always available and affordable, so WIN has helped us to manage our budget and to even budget for the various things that we want to do.”
In December 2019, Pastor Battle and his congregation received a pallet of toys from WIN that were wrapped and brought to the “Holidays in Old North” event. By the end of the event, every child in attendance went home with a toy in their hands.
Bread of Life Pentecostal Church is constantly looking to give to its community, and working with WIN plays a big part in making that happen.

The church is at 2001 North 11th Street., Saint Louis, MO 63106, and can be reached at (314) 241-5433.
