The Mt Pleasant Rotary Clubs are sponsoring a diaper drive for the Family Connection from September 15th to October 10th. By participating in the Family Connection programs, parents can utilize their participation points to receive diapers, wipes, laundry detergent, and other basic baby supplies. Many families who live within the federal poverty guidelines worry about how to afford these necessities. Donation drives like this allow Family Connection to get diapers in the homes of families who need them. The Family Connection can work with up to 45 families at one time and these families need 30-40 packages of diapers a month. Last year Rotary collected 34 boxes and 64 packages of diapers to help meet that need.
