president.
Tarby was extremely thankful for all of the
donations and personally thanked Weymer and the womens club. She said that if
anyone would like to do a diaper/wipe drive they can contact her at 203-881-1804. She said the diapers will go to several clients in Oxford and the

First Selectman George Temple said the town
will continue collecting items throughout the year to help those in need. There
will be a box in the foyer of town hall for anyone wanting to give.

Diaper collection to benefit nonprofit slated in Seymour

SEYMOUR - Connecticut Partnership for Children, Inc. will host its second Bi-Annual "Diaper Drive-By" April 6 to benefit the agency's diaper bank at 135 Main St.
As part of "The Big Event," a nationwide day of service for college students, a group of Quinnipiac University students will be volunteering to collect diapers.
In addition, members of the Walnut Hill Community Church's (Strand Theater Campus) Middle School Youth Group will be volunteering at this event.
The concept of the "Diaper Drive-By" is members of the community who wish to donate to the diaper bank, can purchase diapers or wipes on their own time, and drive up to the building's "Loading Zone" at 135 Main St., between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. April 6, dropping their donation with a student volunteer.
At this time, the diaper bank is especially seeking donations of diapers sizes 4 and 5, but appreciates any assistance the community can provide.
All packages must be new and unopened.
The diaper bank will provide services to any qualifying family throughout Connecticut, and is an ongoing program throughout the year.
For information, visit www.ctpfc.org or www.facebook.com/ctpfc.
