“Diapers are a necessity for every child, but not always accessible due to finances,” AWPC Client Services Director Alyssa Burkett said. “Our hope is that this diaper drive not only fills this immediate need, but makes it available for several months afterward.”
Other businesses and organizations can become involved as drop-off locations by calling AWPC’s administrative office at (248) 939-5900.
