State Senator Don DeWitte’s office and my office are participating in a Diaper Drive to benefit not-for-profit groups in southern Kane and Kendall counties. This Diaper Drive has been organized by the Fox Valley United Way. Please consider donating diapers to help your Fox Valley neighbors during their time of need.
Diapers will be collected at Rep. Ugaste and Sen. DeWitte’s District Office in St. Charles, located at 406 Surrey Woods Drive, Unit A, through September 14. A collection bin has been placed inside the front doors of the office for your convenience. Drop-off hours are between 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
In addition, diapers will be collected at my Shred Event and Food Drive, to be held Saturday, September 14, at the Gail Borden Public Library District, Rakow Branch, 2751 W. Bowes Rd., Elgin, from 9-11 a.m.
This Diaper Drive is an important event for our area, as diapers are very expensive and many families are struggling to afford them. Diapers cannot be purchased with WIC or SNAP benefits, and food pantries are limited in the amount of diapers they can give out per child. Please consider helping local families to keep their children happy and healthy!
Diapers sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are needed, with the larger sizes in the greatest of need. Pull-ups, adult diapers, and baby wipes are also needed. All donations will be distributed to families through non-profit organizations in southern Kane and Kendall counties. Thank you in advance for your support of your neighbors in need!
Please call my office at 630-797-5530 or Sen. DeWitte’s office at 847-214-8245 if you have any questions.
PLEASE NOTE: Monetary donations cannot be accepted by Rep. Ugaste’s office or Sen. DeWitte’s office. All monetary donations must be made to the United Way directly.
