City Of Holland Launches Diaper Drive To Support Families in Need

Being a new parent is hard. I have a four month old son, and just doing the basics of keeping him happy and healthy every day is hard enough, I can't imagine having to do it without a community of help and resources.

Here's a photo of my little guy, because everyone loves a smiling baby!

Thankfully, the city of Holland knows that not every parent is as lucky and sometimes we can all use a hand up. That's why for this month, they're asking your help for a very important drive.

In a heartwarming initiative aimed at supporting families in need, the City of Holland has teamed up with Nestlings Diaper Bank to launch a city-wide diaper drive. Their goal is to gather an assortment of unused diapers and baby wipes to provide essential support to families across Ottawa and Allegan counties.

Residents eager to contribute to this noble cause are invited to drop off their donations at two convenient locations: the Holland Parks and Recreation Office or Holland City Hall.

Convenient Drop-off Locations:

Holland Parks and Recreation Office: 429 East 24th Street, Simply deposit your donations in the designated collection box inside the office, open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Holland City Hall: 270 South River Avenue, they are accepting donations from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This year's initiative takes on added significance, with the anticipated distribution of over 400,000 diapers reflecting a heightened need within the community. So, you can know that your donation will be making a big difference to help parents in need in West Michigan.

The diaper drive is slated to last the entire month of March. It also offers an inclusive opportunity for all residents to participate and make a tangible difference in the lives of local families. Each donation, regardless of size, contributes to a collective effort that embodies the spirit of compassion and solidarity within the Holland community.
