Because Edmonton Cares - Diaper Duty X 2

We're back at it again! Because Edmonton Cares will be volunteering at the Edmonton Food Bank on October 16th, 2013, and we are aiming to bring a boat-load of diapers and formula with us. Ok, maybe not a boat-load but for sure a car-load!

Last time we had our Diaper Drive the Food Bank let us know how much they greatly appreciated those diapers. They also mentioned that baby formula is listed as one of the Most Needed Items and asked us to help stock their shelves. When I volunteered there I was shocked to see the shelves almost bare of formula. For those mothers who really need it and are already struggling to put food on the table I can imagine how hard it is for them to pay for formula as it is very expensive.

Our goal this time is to collect 2,500 diapers and at least 25 containers of formula. With your help we can do it!!

The Food Bank takes opened packages of diapers so if you have some of those kicking around the house then please consider donating them.

I will be doing pick-ups around the city up until October 15th. If you have a donation please email me at becauseedmontoncares@gmail.com and I will arrange a pick-up with you.
