- According to a non profit, state funding for diapers has been cut, which has impacted some diaper banks in our neighborhoods.
- Neighbors say how crucial it is to donate, especially when the cost of living is so high.
- Video shows Mason Community Services discussing the need for diaper donations.
(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story)
Neighbor Joanne DePeel told me her granddaughter is a working mom but still struggles to afford some of what she needs for her family, like diapers.
“A mother of four. Fortunately, there’s only one in diapers now, but the cost is very difficult for her to make a living,” said DePeel.
DePeel volunteers at Mason Community Services, which gives free diapers to neighbors in need. But now, the group itself is in need.
“The needs are increasing, and what do we do?” said Linda Houghson from Mason Community Services.
She says neighbors in Mason rely on their diaper bank, but now, “We’re going to have to rely on the community to become more involved.”
