In the spirit of Valentine's Day, a group of Glover Park mamas are organizing a diaper drive and community playdate to benefit a Wider Circle, which provides new mother/family services to low-income families.

In low-income households where diaper rationing occurs, babies can wear a single diaper all day. This increases the risk of health problems, from skin diseases to hepatitis. Plus, a baby crying non-stop from spending hours in a soiled diaper is more likely to be abused.

THE DRIVE:
Saturday, February 12-1:00-3:00 PM
We are collecting packs of diapers of all sizes and brands. Packs of diaper wipes are also welcome.

THE GLOVER PARK CHALLENGE: If every family that came to the Halloween Parade brings just 1 pack of diapers, we could give a Wider Circle over 3000 diapers. That would be an amazing help to the Wider Circle families.

THE LOCATION:
St. Alban's (3100 Wisconsin Ave, NW) is graciously serving as hosts the collection site and play date location. If you haven't visited Nourse Hall before, it's a beautiful, open, carpeted space-perfect for crawlers, toddlers and kids of all ages. So, after you drop off your donation, please feel free to relax and meet some of your fellow neighbors.

Check out our Facebook event page for more details and RSVP so we have enough snacks. Email me if you have questions.
