'28 Days of Diapers' initiative kicks off

SEYMOUR >> Connecticut Partnership for Children's second annual “28 Days of Diapers” initiative is now underway through March 5.

The attached picture was taken by the agency's teenage volunteer,
of a Diaper Drive she did at American Legion Post 174,
to benefit the Partnership's Valley Diaper Bank

This is a month-long initiative to raise Diaper Need Awareness in the state. During this time, there are many ways to get involved, including running a diaper drive of your own for the agency’s Valley Diaper Bank. Gather your friends, family, co-workers, or community group and collect baby diapers and wipes.

All donations can be dropped at the agency office March 5 during their 6th Birthday Open House. The Connecticut Partnership is located in Downtown Seymour at 141 Main St., Bank Street entrance. The birthday open house will run from noon to 8 p.m., and refreshments will be served. All are invited to stop by and learn more about the agency and its programs.
