BENNETTSVILLE—The Upsilon Sigma Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. teamed up with Molina Healthcare to draw attention to the issue of diaper need.
National Diaper Need Awareness Week was September 23-29. On Saturday, the groups hosted a diaper drive-thru assisting over 60 families at the Marian Wright Edelman Library.
According to the National Diaper Bank Network, “National Diaper Need Awareness Week provides individuals, organizations, communities, and elected officials the opportunity to engage in real talk and simple actions. By working together we can ensure that all babies have access to clean diapers and other basic necessities required for them to thrive and reach their full potential. One in two U.S. families struggles to provide enough diapers to keep a baby or toddler clean, dry, and healthy.”
