Diaper Drive

  • Baby holding a diaperChoosing between diapering your baby and putting food on the table is a choice no parent wants to make but, sadly, one in three do.

    To help families in need, the ECFE/Preschool Parent Advisory Council is hosting a Diaper Drive. They have created an Amazon Wish List for families to donate purchased diapers and wipes.

    Please take a look at the list and help where you can. Simply add items to your cart and select “Anoka Family Place” as the address to ship to! 

    All purchases will be given to our Home Visiting team, cultural liaisons, and newborn parenting educators who will distribute to families in need.
