The Trustees approved holding the Metro Boston Diaper Drive at the library for the next two weeks. In July, Somerville WIC, which collected about 53,000 diapers last year, became responsible for Reading as well as 18 other towns.
Donate Diapers to Area Families in Need
SNAP & WIC benefits do not cover diapers and have faced deep cuts in recent years. As a result, many families must make difficult decisions between food, rent, or clean bottoms. But you can help babies in the Metro-Boston area stay happy, clean, and dry by donating to the annual Metro-Boston Diaper Drive.
The Drive will run from October 4 – 17. Please visit mbdiapers.org to donate or click directly on the links to the Amazon and Target registries. The Metro-Boston Diaper Drive donates all diapers to the Somerville WIC office, which, as of July, serves 19 towns: Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Burlington, Cambridge, Everett, Lexington, Lincoln, Malden, Medford, North Reading, Reading, Somerville, Stoneham, Wakefield, Watertown, Wilmington, Winchester, and Woburn.
