BAKER CITY – (Release by Baker Relief Nursery) In times of stress, families have to prioritize what is most needed for their children. “When a parent is impacted by financial stress, they will stretch how long their diapers and wipes will last,” explains RaeAnn Butler, Executive Director of Baker Relief Nursery. “Children need to feel safe, secure and clean in order to explore and learn.” That is why Baker Relief Nursery keeps a fully stocked supply of diapers and wipes for local families that need it the most.
Lew Bros. Tire Center, known for their commitment to the community, has once again offered to help with the diaper need for local, at-risk children. Twice a year, the tire center offers support by hosting a diaper drive. Lew Bros. has yet to turn down the offer when it comes to helping out our local children and families in need!
Unopened packages of diapers and wipes can be donated from March 18th through March 30th. While all diapers and wipes are welcomed, preferred sizes are 4, 5, 6, and pull-ups. Items can be taken directly to Lew Bros. Tire Center located at 210 Bridge Street in Baker City, between the hours of 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, and 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday.
