Connecticut Partnership for Children, a 501©(3) organization, is located at 135 Main St. in Seymour and was founded in 2009. The agency opened its Valley Diaper Bank in 2011 and provides diapers on a monthly basis to any qualifying family throughout the state.
In an effort to fully stock our shelves and help as many families as possible, the agency is hosting “28 Days of Diapers” this February.
Individuals, families, businesses, schools, scout troops, etc. can participate in this event in the following ways:
- 1) Run a month-long diaper drive at your agency, business, or school;
- 2) Ask your staff/employees to dress down in denim on 2/14 in exchange for a $5 donation to CTPFC, or a package of diapers or wipes;
- 3) Refer one family who is in need of services to our agency;
- 4) Tell five friends, family members, co-workers, etc. about our mission;
- 5) Sign up to volunteer at one of our upcoming fundraisers or diaper drives;
- 6) Host a diaper drive with your friends or family at your home- make a party out of it!
- 7) Sponsor a child, with a commitment of one month, six months, or 1 year;
- 8) Form your team for the Diaper Dash 5K on Saturday, May 31st (www.thediaperdash5K.com for more info); and
- 9) Promote the Diaper Dash 5K by handing out fliers or volunteering at our agency, to work on marketing this event.
