*Our goal is to give directly to families. We reserve the right to refuse service to families picking up for multiple families. We ask that you try to make distributions to ensure that you are able to receive diapers. Diapers are given on a first come basis. We would like to be able to serve families that come, we are unable to do that especially when we have families picking up for multiple families whose children are in sizes that are currently “high needs”.
FAQ will be updated with questions/answers as needed.
