Welcome to operation baby new year
why are we collecting diapers?They are expensive! Today 1 in 3 families struggle to provide diapers for their children.
Low-income families often cannot afford the high cost of diapers because diapers cannot be purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds (Food Stamps). Lack of access to diapers and supplies can cause children to get sick, and force families to skip work in order to care for their infant or toddler. Unable to afford diapers, they are forced to choose between a range of undesirable alternatives such as cutting back on basics such as food, utilities or child care in order to purchase diapers for their children. That is why we started Operation Baby New Year, to make sure no parent or guardian has to make those difficult choices in times of need. Last year between our winter and summer diaper drive, our community partners helped raise over 170,000 diapers for families across central Minnesota, an estimated 35,000$ of diaper assistance. With your support, we can continue to provide diapers the many local organizations in our area offering programs and shelter to those living in crisis. |
It's that time of year again!
We are excited announce our annual holiday diaper drive, "Operation Baby New Year: The Big Deuce" beginning on December 1st 2016 to January 1st 2017! During the holiday season last year, Operation Baby New Year was a huge success! Our volunteers and community partners were able to raise a whopping 105,000 diapers for parents in need! Those diapers made a massive impact on the lives of hundreds of individuals, which is why we are doubling this years goal to 200,000 diapers for families in the Saint Cloud area! Follow the links at the bottom of the page to learn more about where you can drop off your diapers donations, upcoming diaper drive events, the organizations we are supporting, and how YOU can can help support families in need this holiday season!
