Anywhere between $5.00 and $25.00 is the average price range for a 24 count box of diapers. For many families the price of buying diapers comes down to either putting food on the table or buying diapers, this is where Operation Baby New Year comes in to play.
The Christmas season may be over but the spirit of giving lives on through the dog days of summer. Operation Baby New Year is kicking off their 'Diaper Days of Summer' campaign in an effort to raise 75,000 diapers for local organization.
Operation Baby New Year is a grassroots organization trying to collect 100,000 diapers by New Year's day. Local business Beaver Island Brewing Company is helping out the cause by hosting a Diapers For Pints event tonight (Wednesday). Anyone (21-years or older) can drop off a box of diapers and get a free pint of beer.
