This year's drive has completed. Click here for a report on how it went.
Create positive change in our community by providing essential personal care items to support United Way of Sumner County Agencies who serve moms and babies. Did you know that a one-week supply of diapers can cost around $20 and the average family will spend $1,000/year on diapers and close to $500/year on wipes? In addition, the average woman spends about $10 on feminine hygiene products per month, adding up to about $5,000 over her lifetime!
With the rising costs of gas, groceries, and toiletries, families are struggling, now more than ever, to cover the costs of basic care items like diapers, wipes, and feminine products which are vital to personal health. But YOU can help!
We are collecting diapers, wipes, feminine products, and personal care items for Moms and Babies from April 1 - April 30 to be distributed to our United Way Partner Agencies who serve moms and babies. See our tabs below for a list of items needed and where you can drop them off. You can also shop via our Amazon Wish List for items to be shipped directly to our office or you can sponsor this event to help us provide needed supplies for moms & babies.
