The Cobb Diaper Day Committee is sponsoring a diaper drive at Glover Park in Marietta Square on Monday, October 26 at 5pm. The diaper day event was founded by a concerned group of community leaders with the goal of raising awareness that, in tough economic times, securing the most basic needs—having diapers to care for infants and children– is a challenge that low-income families face on a regular basis.
Typical problems that low income families face:
- Food Stamps do not include hygiene products such as diapers.
- Diapers are expensive.
- Daycare centers require parents to provide their own diapers.
- Diaper rash and crying lead to more stress in the home.
- Local support agencies ( MUST and C.A.M.P.) can only dispense diapers 4-6 times a year per client.
