St. Cloud’s Annual Diaper Drive is Underway
ST. CLOUD -- Operation Baby New Year is underway in St. Cloud. The annual event collects diapers for families in central Minnesota.
Spokeswoman Donella Westphal says the diapers are then donated to organizations like Anna Marie's Alliance, Catholic Charities, and Reach Up Head Start.
They have a goal of collecting 150,000 diapers this year.
She says this is a simple way you can help your neighbors.
The thing is we all start in diapers. We all start in the same place. I think its up to us as community members to take care of each other and to help make some of those decisions a little easier for people who have fallen on hard times.
There are several drop-off locations in downtown St. Cloud that will be accepting donations through the end of the year.
