Anna, who serves as enrollment coordinator, explains that Head Start partners with the Bottoms Up Diaper Bank to provide diapers to enrolled families and others in the community through referrals.

Danielle says the organization partnered this year with the Kiwanis Club to expand collection efforts across the county. Residents can donate diapers at several locations throughout Mount Vernon and surrounding communities during the month of May. The drive is especially in need of sizes 5, 6, and 7, and even open packages are accepted.

WNZR’s Eric Brown continues with Anna Yoder and Danielle Moffatt from Knox County Head Start about the Bottoms Up Diaper Drive. Organizers hope to collect more than 4,100 diapers this year, with the greatest need being larger diaper sizes and pull-ups.

Danielle says all donations stay local and help families enrolled in Head Start as well as other families referred through community agencies. Community organizations, churches, and businesses are also encouraged to host diaper drives of their own.

Donations can be dropped off at the Head Start Administration Building at 790 Fairgrounds Road in Mount Vernon. For more information, contact Anna Yoder at ayoder@knoxheadstart.org or call 740-397-2768.
