From our mailbox. Interesting. Remind the diaper drive here earlier this year? Maybe its time for another. A growing grassroots movement taking shape throughout the country is focused on one of the most basic needs of infants and toddlers…diapers. More specifically, the issue is “diaper need,” the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep a baby clean, dry and healthy. Diaper Need Awareness Week, scheduled for Sept. 8-14, will draw attention to the issue and help get diapers to babies who need them. To date, governors and state legislatures in 16 states (no, not N.H.) have recognized Diaper Need Awareness Week via official proclamations. Many people are unaware that government assistance programs—such as food stamps and WIC—do not provide funding for diapers, a basic necessity for babies. Visit DiaperNeed.org
