N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The South Central Homeless Coalition is hosting their 2nd annual diaper drive for Region VI through August 14th.
“The goal is to raise $5,000 worth of diapers and wipes,” the release states. “We are accepting donations of the supplies themselves or monetary donations to purchase these item. Ideally, with regional participation, items and dollars donated at the collection sites will be able to stay within those communities within our region.”
According to the National Diaper Bank Network, government assistance programs like Food Stamps do not cover diapers. Without diapers, babies cannot participate in early childhood education programs. Without child care, parents can’t go to work.
In the U.S. alone, 1 in 3 Moms report suffering from diaper need.
“There are no diaper banks located in NOrth Dakota that could help supply this dire need for our communities,” the release says.
