Diaper Donation Drive Launches in Laurens: Community Rallies for Families in Need
LAURENS, SC – As the leaves begin to change color and the air turns a bit crisper, the community of Laurens is gearing up for something truly special. The Upstate Pregnancy Center is calling on all local residents to step up and help families in need through an important diaper donation drive. With the first of two drive-thru events scheduled for Tuesday, October 8, and another on October 15, it’s time for everyone to come together to support our neighbors.
An Urgent Need for Diapers
Brenda Stewart, the board chair for the Upstate Pregnancy Center, has issued an urgent call for donations, particularly for diaper sizes ranging from 3 to 7 as well as pull-ups in all sizes. “We shared our diaper supply with Family Promise to address an immediate need,” Brenda explained. “So now we must replenish our stock for the upcoming drives.”
The Upstate Pregnancy Center has seen their supplies dwindle significantly due to a big donation made to assist Family Promise, which helps local families facing hardships. Brenda emphasized that the ongoing need for diapers is critical, especially as many families struggle to provide basic necessities for their little ones. “In these challenging times, we truly rely on the community’s support,” she said.
Drop-off Locations
The Upstate Pregnancy Center has set up several convenient drop-off locations for residents who want to contribute to this vital cause. You can donate diapers at:
- Sadler Hughes Apothecary – Clinton, SC
- Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner Realtors – Clinton, SC
- Sanitary Market – Laurens, SC (124 E Public Square)
Brenda also mentioned that those who would prefer to contribute financially can send checks to Upstate Pregnancy Center, PO Box 831, Clinton, SC 29325. It’s worth noting that the center is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. Every contribution, whether it’s diapers or dollars, directly supports families in need and helps the Upstate Pregnancy Center fulfill its mission.
Making a Difference, Together
Your participation truly matters! The Upstate Pregnancy Center welcomes donations from now until the drive-thru events. Each donation, big or small, goes a long way in helping families get through tough times. “Your generosity can make a meaningful difference for families in Laurens County,” Brenda encouragingly stated.
As the warmer days wind down and give way to fall, let’s not forget those who might be struggling a little more during this season. Community support is a powerful tool, and together, we can help meet the needs of families in our area.
