 “Since I work closely with the Commodore Cupboard Food Pantry on campus, I noticed that there was a huge need for diapers and wipes for the patrons, especially from single mothers. We get requests every day from mothers looking for diapers for their babies. Upon further research, I found out that diapers and wipes are not covered by SNAP, which means that these moms are paying for them out of pocket. I decided that I needed to find a way to help. I appealed to the wonderful people that work and attend classes at Lorain County Community College for help. From October 18th-29th, I held a diaper and wipe drive in the College Center of LCCC. I had my supervisor send out the flyer to everyone and I planned to sit a table in College Center to help promote the drive. With the help from everyone, we were able to collect 3,469 diapers and 81 packs of wipes. We also had a couple of cash donations to help-out the cause.”
