The funds will be used to support the organization’s “No Child Wet Behind” diaper bank program.

“The need for infants and toddlers to stay dry is extremely important,” says Stolze. “Otherwise, children may suffer from diseases of all kinds. Given the rising cost of essentials like food and supplies, purchasing diapers is another hardship facing many families and agencies in our area.”
