Thank you to everyone who supported our Diaper Drive! We are incredibly grateful to all who donated diapers and made monetary contributions to help local households in need.

A special thank you to WSAW NewsChannel 7 for partnering with us and helping spread the word. Your support made this effort even more impactful!

Missed the drive, but still looking to help? Donations can be dropped off at our location in the Community Partners Campus during our donation hours: Monday-Thursday 8am-3pm and Friday 8am-12pm. Monetary donations can also be made on our website.

As you arrive, keep an eye out for our amazing volunteers in their hi-vis vests as they will be directing you around the building to our donation door where we will be collecting diapers of all sizes. Every pack donated helps support babies in our community!

The WSAW 3rd Annual Diaper Drive is well on it's way. Please check out a recent, important, story WSAW did on the ALICE population and ways to donate to the drive.

Rising costs are hitting working families hard. In Marathon County, 1 in 3 people are in the ALICE population — working but struggling to afford basics like diapers, which cost $80-$100/month per child.

Single moms make up 60% of this group, and recent tariffs drove diaper prices up 12% in just one month.

You can help. Our Diaper Drive is happening now with 3 ways to donate: 🔹 Online: wsaw.com/diaperDrive 🔹 38 drop-off locations (list on our website) 🔹 Drive-thru events May 27 at Neighbors' Place (Wausau) & Paper City Savings Bank (Plover)

18 states, including Wisconsin, still tax tampons as a luxury item instead of recognizing them as a basic necessity. 🚨⚠ This we are advocating for an end to the sales tax on menstrual products! Urge elected officials to support legislation that would make period products tax-free in less than two minutes here: bit.ly/endthetampontax
