The 14th Cobb Diaper Day is returning in September and October in virtual format, with a goal of collecting 100,000 diapers for families in need.
Organizers said those interested in contributing can do so in several ways. They can make direct contribution to the Cobb Diaper Day website, purchase them on Amazon through the Cobb Diaper Day Wish-list and declare a collection day at workplaces and organizations and with families and friends.
Since its inception in 2008, the non-profit Cobb Diaper Day has collected and distributed more than a million diapers.
Two Wednesdays in October have been designated for dropping off diapers at the solar flower garden of Cobb EMC (1000 Emc Pkwy NE, Marietta): Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Oct. 26 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Once collected, the diapers will be turned over to several community organizations for final distribution:
- Cobb Douglas Public Health Teen Pregnancy Program
- Communities in Schools of Georgia in Marietta/Cobb County
- LiveSafe Resources
- MUST Ministries
- Ser Familia
- Simple Needs GA
- Sweetwater Mission
- The Center for Family Resources
