PW Diaper Drive

Clean diapers are a basic need of every infant and toddler. Yet, one in three families cannot afford enough diapers to keep their child clean, dry, and healthy. three in five parents miss work or school because they can’t afford the diapers required to leave their baby in childcare.

The Western Pennsylvania Diaper Bank, wpadiaperbank.org, has been helping families meet diaper needs for more than a decade. The Diaper Bank began at New Light Temple Baptist Church, serving families in Allegheny County through six partner agencies. Last year, the Diaper Bank provided over two million diapers to families in Allegheny, Washington, and Westmoreland counties through 53 partner agencies. ELPC members and friends have generously supported this ministry for many years.

Presbyterian Women will host a Diaper Drive at the Highland Ave. entrance following worship on Sunday, July 30, until 12:30 pm. Donations also may be dropped off in the laundry basket at the Highland Ave entrance. Diaper sizes 5 and 6 are most needed. Financial gifts also are welcomed. Please make checks payable to PW in ELPC and write “Diaper Drive” in the memo.
