December Diaper Drive Thru in Laurens: A Community’s Gift of Love

In the spirit of giving and community support, the December Diaper Drive Thru will be held on Tuesday, December 12 in Laurens. This recurring initiative not only provides essential supplies to families in need but also fosters a sense of unity among community members facing challenging circumstances.

Monthly Diaper Drive Thru for Families in Need

The Diaper Drive Thru is a monthly event, alternating between Clinton and Laurens, with the aim of reaching as many families as possible. This month’s drive will be hosted at the parking lot of Wattsville Drug at 24 Sirrine Street in Laurens from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This central location ensures easy access for families from various neighborhoods.

Appealing for Donations

To meet the growing demand, the organizers are appealing for increased diaper donations. Those willing to contribute can make a difference by purchasing larger sizes and pull-ups during their next shopping trip and dropping them off at designated locations. Collection points include Sadler Hughes Apothecary and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner Realtors in Clinton, as well as Courthouse Coffee in Laurens.

Participant Requirements

To ensure assistance reaches those truly in need, parents or guardians seeking help at the Diaper Drive Thru must present appropriate identification for verification. The required documents may include a copy of the parent or guardian’s photo ID, along with supporting documentation proving custody or birth. Eligible forms of verification include birth certificates, WIC or Medicaid cards for the child, foster care or custody paperwork, and daycare or school IDs. Each family is eligible to receive one pack of diapers and wipes per child, with a maximum of two children per household. Identification is only required the first time.

The Diaper Drive Thru initiative is also collaborating with the Carolina Pregnancy Center (CPC) from Spartanburg. The CPC’s mobile unit will be present at the event, offering free pregnancy testing and ultrasounds as needed. This collaboration enhances the event’s impact, providing comprehensive support to families facing challenges beyond the need for diapers.

By providing diapers and wipes to those in need and fostering a sense of community support, this initiative aims to create a brighter, more nurturing environment for families facing adversity.

Join us in making a difference—one diaper at a time.
