Diaper Drive for Share Our Spare
Please bring size 5 diapers (opened packages ok) and wipes to the Hoedown.
Harper is partnering with Share Our Spare to help end diaper need, which is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep an infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. Diapers are not covered by government assistance, contributing to the sobering reality that 1 in 2 U.S. families with young children experience diaper need. Help us reach our goal to collect 1,800 diapers, which is enough to provide diapers for 3 children for 1 year!
