Help KDL collect one of the most basic necessities for babies and toddlers in Kent County: diapers.

The Kent District Library has teamed up with the Great Start Parent Coalition and ACCESS Food Pantries to help families with young children in need. Through May 31, eleven KDL branches will have collection boxes available for diapers to be donated to families in need.

Unopened packages of disposable diapers in any size can be dropped off at these KDL branch locations:

• Alpine Township
• Byron Township
• Cascade Township
• Comstock Park
• East Grand Rapids
• Englehardt
• Gaines Township
• Kentwood
• Krause Memorial
• Plainfield Township
• Wyoming

Online monetary donations through PayPal are also appreciated.

The goal of this third-annual county-wide diaper drive is to collect 40,000 diapers for young children in Kent County. Please help us make a difference for the youngest citizens of our community!
