If your child is in need of diapers or wipes, you can stop by our office to pick up 1 pack of diapers and wipes per child per month while supplies last. Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to noon and 12:30pm to 4:30pm. We will accept donations of diapers throughout the year as this continues to be a hardship for many families. Thank you to everyone who has donated!
