Reps. Bolinsky And Foncello to Host Diaper Drive in Newtown

**News Release Submitted by Connecticut House Republicans**

Sept. 13, 2024

State Representatives Mitch Bolinsky (R-106) and Martin Foncello (R-107) will be hosting a Diaper Drive to help our Newtown neighbors for this must-have baby supply on Friday September 20th at the Newtown Big Y.

The diapers collected will be delivered to both the FAITH Food Pantry of Newtown behind St. Rose’s Church and the Community Action Agency of Western Connecticut which is located in Danbury and services twenty-five towns and 20,000 people in the region.

The September 20th Diaper Drive at the Newtown Big Y goes from 11:30AM to 1:30PM.

Diapers are an expensive, but essential baby product, and unfortunately, they are not covered by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefits.

The Newtown State Representatives are asking town residents for help by donating an unopened package or two of diapers for babies and their mothers who might be in-need.
