Diaper Drive Success at SAVA Insurance Group

Benefits United Way/Gemma Moran Food Bank

 

 

January 4, 2011, Waterford, CT – Sava Insurance Group just wrapped up their December Diaper Drive and it was a success with the collection of 3,016 diapers and 4,352 wipes, all to benefit the Gemma Moran Food Center.

“The staff wanted to join this drive after we volunteered at the food bank and found out there was such a strong need for diapers,” shares SAVA President Donna Yother. SAVA Insurance Group was one of the drop off points for diapers and wipes for the Drive, through the month of December. “We would like to thank all of those who donated so generously. With the success of this Diaper Drive, many families will be helped, who otherwise would have been in desperate need.”

 

Why is there such a desperate need for diapers? A month’s supply of diapers can cost as much as $100; Wic and food stamps cannot be used for diapers; often children are left in diapers to save money, which leads to infections and rashes; daycare centers require disposable diapers, which can be costly; and a normal infant can use up to 12 diapers a day!
