Greater Milford Holds Diaper Drive

Diapers are a basic need and essential to overall good health and development of infant and toddlers. But many infants & toddlers in our community do not have the clean diapers they need! When families are struggling financially, purchasing diapers can be difficult. Parents sometimes are faced with either keeping a child in a soiled diaper longer or reusing the diaper, both of which lead to serve diaper rash and other health issues.

For many working parents with children in child care programs, disposable diapers are required. If the parents cannot accesses diapers, children cannot attend care and parents frequently will have to miss work and daily wages.

Help the infants & toddlers in our community to have enough diapers to remain clean, dry and healthy by donating diapers and infant/toddler personal care items to the Greater Milford Diaper Drive 2016. Diapers and personal care items will be distributed to area food pantries.

Donations can be dropped off at the Milford Family & Community Network Office, 31 West Fountain St. Milford, Monday through Friday from 9 to 3, through March 16th. For questions or more information call us at 508-634-2356. Your donations are desperately needed and will make a BIG difference for a child!
