One out of three local families with young children struggle to buy diapers every month, and with diapers costing over $100 a month it’s no surprise why. And programs like Food Stamps and WIC don’t cover them.

Help local families stretch their budgets by donating diapers or baby wipes right now in the United Way of Hampshire County’s diaper drive.

It’s easy – just add a few bags of diapers and wipes to your cart the next time you’re at the store and drop them off at one of the many collection sites, including Big Y Amherst, Northampton, Southampton and Ware.

Thank you to Big Y, Pride Stores and our friends at Country Hyundai, Country Nissan, Genesis of Northampton, Northampton Volkswagen, Volvo Cars Pioneer Valley.

Check out the drop-off sites here.
