Bethany’s Diaper Give Away (Start Small)

9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Bethany’s Diaper Give Away is offered once a month in our office, and this is a day where Bethany Christian Services gives away free diapers of any size and some formula to families in the community who are in need of support, most of whom are refugee and immigrant families. If you are interested in joining us in our mission to be Radical Advocates for Children by donating diapers and/or formula, please call 515.270.0824. Wonder if investing in a child’s future is as simple as donating a diaper... We believe that every child deserves a clean diaper. You can drop off any unused diapers and/or formula or donate online at https://bethanychristianservices.wufoo.com/forms/r133is6r1tjhdx0/. For up-to-date information on this program, please like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/startsmallproject/.
