Diapers and Pull-Ups.
Parents in our community need these baby items now more than ever. A baby goes through 3,000 diapers in the first year of life, which can cost up to $200 per month! Many families are forced to choose between purchasing diapers and being able to pay for other necessities.
Parents can relate to how expensive these items are and how frustrating it is to have leftovers when your kids change diaper sizes or move to big kid underwear. Now these spare items can go where they’re needed most!
