saint saviour’s center diaper collection
I
n a time when many families are being challenged by eco- nomic difficulties, providing essentials for a new baby can
be daunting. Saint Saviour’s Center has begun a local Diaper Drive, and is collecting diapers for families served by Step Up, Growing Together Preschool, Safe Child, and Wake Relief. A recent nationwide study found that one in three families struggle to provide their children with enough diapers. Diapers can cost $100 or more per month, and are not covered by local public assistance programs. Saviour’s Center is a community outreach ministry. The
Center provides a home for several human service organizations and offers health, wellness and recreational programs for the elderly and low-income residents of Raleigh and Wake County, including Meals on Wheels, Community Music School, Wake Relief Food Pantry, and the Healthy Living Program. This holiday season, consider dropping by your local gro-
cery or drug store and picking up an extra package of diapers. Diapers can be dropped of at Saint Saviour’s Center, 616 Tucker Street, Raleigh 27603 from 8:30-5 Monday through Friday - or mail them a contribution. Contact Sharon Hayes at shayes@
saintsaviourcenter.org, or visit
