Lenten Diaper Drive
The 7th graders announced today that we’re halfway to our goal of 15,000 diapers! Donate before Easter!
The Lenten Diaper Drive is upon us! Help the 7th grade collect diapers for the Catholic Charities Bottom Line Diaper Bank for distribution in the Denver area. That is an extended stay shelter that supports pregnant women and single mothers to get back on their feet. We’re hoping to collect 15,000 diapers over the Lenten season. Seventh graders will be collecting at morning carline or you can drop diapers in the office. Thank you!
Greatest Need: Sizes 4, 5, and 6
All sizes of diapers, wipes, and adult supplies are also appreciated.
This is a service project for the seventh graders through SVdP Serves.
Thank you for your generosity!
