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!

 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Volunteers Needed! We need parent volunteers to help setup and run the event, plus middle schoolers, high schoolers & Harper alumni to help lead games and activities! We can't make this event happen without YOU!

Sign up to volunteer at the Hoedown!
