The Junior Women's League of Smithfield collected diapers, wipes and monetary donations to assist the Partnership for Children of Johnston County in creating a diaper closet for families in need. Instead of watching children admire their favorite vehicles at our live Touch-A-Truck event, we packed thousands of diapers and delivered them to PFCJC in MANY vehicles.
This initiative also allowed us to educate our communities about diaper need. A special thank you to the Johnston County Board of Commissioners and the towns of Benson, Clayton, Four Oaks, Kenly, Wilson's Mills, Princeton, and Smithfield for declaring October "Diaper Need Awareness Month" to encourage citizens to donate to diaper banks, diaper drives, and those organizations that collect and distribute diapers to those struggling with diaper need.
We are so grateful to our sponsors and to all that supported our diaper drive. We look forward to presenting a check to PFCJC in the coming months and playing, learning, and exploring at Touch-A-Truck next year -- save the date for November 6, 2021!
