Diaper drive Saturday

POST FALLS - The Post Falls High student body leaders will sponsor a diaper and baby wipe drive to benefit the Post Falls Food Bank on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Trading Co. Store parking lot.

Diapers for babies and toddlers of all sizes will be collected. Money collected will be used to purchase diapers.

"We decided to have this drive to make the community more aware of the need that many mothers face in supplying diapers for their children," said Denise Edmonds, PFHS ASB adviser.

One hundred forty-nine households that have used the food bank this year have children ages 0-2. There are 171 children in those homes who are infants and toddlers.

"This is pretty staggering," said Mark Jones, food bank board member. "The food bank's inventory for diapers available is extremely low and in huge demand."
