Nonprofit in Seymour to launch '28 Days of Diapers'


This year, the "28 Days of Diapers" initiative will run from Friday, Feb. 6 through March 5 (Connecticut Partnership's sixth birthday celebration!)

To get involved:
- run a diaper drive for our Valley Diaper Bank at your school, daycare, place of employment, social group, or in the community
- form your team for the 2nd Annual Diaper Dash 5K on May 30, and get ready to register Early Bird rate on March 5 or during General Registration April 1-May 28
- get your friends together and purchase a table to our Comedy Adventure show happening March 6 at Colonial Tavern in Oxford
- Join us on Thursday, Feb. 5 to pass out flyers throughout the community and spread the word about our Diaper Need initiative
- volunteer at our agency, 141 Main St., Seymour throughout the month
- Run a dress down day at your place of employment, once a week during the 28 Days and ask for $5 or one package of diapers or wipes from each employee/co-worker who participates to go directly to our Valley Diaper Bank


We love our community and all the support they have given us! Let's make the 2nd Annual "28 Days of Diapers" initiative even better than the first.
