Free diapers if you have 2 or more kids in diapers?

I remember a few years ago my aunt had 2 or 3 children in diapers, and she got a case of diapers delivered to her house for free every week or month. I'm not sure all the details. It was a goverment funded program. This was in Monsey.
Does anyone know anything else about this? Is this service still available?
Any details will be appreciated. TIA!

I can't ask my aunt now because she's out of town. I need more info asap for a friend.

there is a pamper gemach somewhere in brooklyn, check the monday hamodia (lists all gemachs) its online and if one of the children not toilet trained are over 3 then insurance might pay for it

Sounds cool, but too cool to be true. 2 kids in diapers is so common I can't imagine anyone subsidizing it. Also, I've followed various baby bargain blogs with a LOT of talk on how to afford diapers and never heard of anything like this - and those mommas are VERY resourceful. But if it does exist, I'd sure love to know!

Perhaps look into if there's a diaper pantry in your area.
There's one where I am, though I've never used it. I think for mine they operate out of a church, and only certain hours on the 3rd Friday/Saturday of the month. So the whole church and shabbos thing made it difficult to use them. But I am not in Brooklyn - I'm sure you have something similar somewhere there.
Good luck and keep us posted!

I spoke to my aunt. She said this is for children over 5 that are still in diapers, if you have Medicaid. You need a perscription from your doctor that your 5 yr old is still in diapers. She got the diapers through Medical Source.
