No Child Wet Behind Fundraiser & Diaper Drive: 5K Run/Walk & 1 Mile Family Fun Run!

On Saturday, September 12, 2015, Northeast Doulas will host the 3rd Annual No Child Wet Behind Diaper Drive and 5k at FDR Park in Yorktown Heights. In addition to children’s activities, a shopping boutique, food and more, this community event will bring together our many supporters and partners in order to raise awareness about the many babies in need of clean, dry diapers throughout Westchester County.

One in three mothers in America struggles to provide their babies with clean diapers. Unfortunately there is very little help or public resources to alleviate this problem. Food assistance programs do not extend to diaper purchases, most licensed daycare facilities require disposable diapers, and most laundromats do not allow cloth diapers to be washed there due to sanitary concerns. This can lead to babies being kept in dirty diapers for extended periods of time, causing both physical and emotional suffering for so many little ones.

Northeast Doulas has partnered with The Westchester Diaper Bank to raise awareness for these babies and families. All diapers and a portion of the proceeds will benefit this amazing organization. We are looking for involvement from our local community as well as national retailers with a presence in Westchester County. There are plenty of ways to get involved that do not require much time.

Run or walk the 5K or the One Mile Family Fun Run, Donate diapers and/or funds to this great cause!
