The U.S. Army National Guard is hosting an open house at the Winooski Armory this Saturday, September 24th from 10:00am to 2:00pm. During this open house, the Junior League of Champlain Valley will be hosting a Diaper Drive for the Diaper Bank. Any and all sizes of diapers are greatly appreciated.
There is no government safety-net program that provides diapers to families in need. The Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf has said that 8-10 people per day request diapers, usually to be turned away. This means babies and toddlers are having to stay in dirty diapers. The Junior League's goal is to do what it can to help alleviate diaper need in this area.
The Junior League of Champlain Valley Diaper Bank has distributed 2 Million diapers and counting across Vermont since starting in 2018. With the support of our community, we hope to continue supporting our fellow Vermonters with this vital resource.
