Diaper bank receives 48,000; short on size 6

From Illinois-

The St. Paul Diaper Bank Partnership received 48,000 children’s diapers in sizes 3 to 5 from Huggies through a partnership with the National Diaper Bank Network.

The diaper bank will distribute them to 16 social service agencies and food bank partners, who will provide their clients with free diapers, according to a news release.

This February, the diaper bank distributed 25,000 diapers – 5,000 more than were distributed in February 2011.

Despite this donation, the diaper bank still needs children’s size 6 diapers. The supply is almost gone, and the request from the bank’s partners for this size is increasing, according to the release.

There is a 24/7 drop-off collection box at St. Paul Episcopal Church, 3706 W. St. Paul Ave., McHenry. Monetary donations may be sent to the diaper bank, with checks made out to the St. Paul Diaper Bank Partnership in care of the church.
