SUMMARY:Share the Love Community Diaper Drive
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our annual Community Diaper Drive to benefit Baby Basics!\nWe invite individuals\, community groups\, and corporate partners to “Share the Love” by supporting local babies in need. Together\, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of families in our community who struggle with diaper need. \nWhat is DIAPER NEED? \nDiaper Need is the struggle to provide babies with clean\, dry diapers. It negatively impacts children’s health\, parents’ mental well-being\, and families’ economic stability.  \n  \nOur Baby Basics program is here to help. \n                                  \nBaby Basics provides FREE nutritional formula and diapers for babies\, along with a safety net of emotional support and referrals for low-income families in the community. It is funded solely through product and financial donations from generous supporters like YOU!  Last year\, we served 700 families\, a 15% increase from the year before! Your donation will help us continue to grow and serve even more families in need. \n  \nHow You Can Help:\n  \n\nParticipate VIRTUALLY by sharing our Baby Basics Amazon Wishlist with friends and family using the link to deliver the diaper donations directly to us!\n\n  \n\nPlace a donation box at your organization\, library\, school or gym for donors to drop off diapers. Perhaps your kids’ school\, scout troop\, etc. would like to do a service project. At the end of the drive\, drop off the donations at Children’s Aid and Family Services – 200 Robin Road\, Paramus\, NJ.\n\n  \n\n Make a financial donation for Baby Basics and help us stock our diaper supply for the year.\n\n      \n \n \n \n \n  \nWe are so appreciative of your support of this initiative as it will allow us to continue to grow and serve babies and families in need in our community. \n  \nContact Christina Diomede at cdiomede@cafsnj.org or 201-740-7104 to get involved today! \n  \nBaby Basics has been keeping babies happy\, healthy and dry for over 25 years and together\, we can  help change lives from the bottom up!
