Crofton Student Lobbies To End MD Diaper Tax

CROFTON, MD — Without community leaders, Crofton wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Caleb Oh, a Crofton reader who nominated Joshua Oh.

How do you know this community leader?

Brother

What does this community leader do?

Joshua co-directs Kid Changemakers (a non-profit that serves the food insecure, homeless, and foster children). He coordinates monthly pop-up pantries where diapers, wipes, tampons, pads, and food are given out. He successfully lobbied to end the diaper tax in Maryland. The governor signed it into law last year, saving families $12 million a year. He uses his organization to give young people an opportunity to serve the community. He does all of this while attending high school, playing on the varsity tennis team and maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

Joshua is a kind and humble community leader.
