As a proud board member of Greater DC Diaper Bank, I am excited to host the inaugural Hygiene Kitting Event and Diaper Drive in partnership with Prince George's County Leadership and University of Maryland Capital Medical Center. This initiative will provide thousands of hygiene kits and diapers to families who need them most—and I am proud to have The Willow Oak (MD) Chapter of The Links Incorporated as a part of this effort.
A reason I am passionate about this event GDCDB’s commitment to providing hygiene products to support the entire family. When the adult has the needed products to support their health and dignity, they then have the capacity and right spirit to focus to care for their children.
Your support makes a real difference. Every dollar helps to provide the adult hygiene, period products, and diapers the under served in the community needs.
I’m collecting dollars, diapers, and hygiene items. Items will go directly into these kits, and dollars will be used to bulk purchase additional supplies to fill the gaps. GDCDB will distribute the assembled kits through a trusted network of local partners—reaching caregivers across the region, including in Prince George’s County.
If you are donating diapers or diaper cream, they can be purchased through our Amazon Wishlist (please click here to view) or dropped off to me in advance of our October 4 event.
If you would like to donate hygiene items, please use this link.These items must be delivered to Greater DC Diaper Bank by September 15, COB to be included in our 10/4 event.
