Everyone with a baby in the house knows how expensive diapers are. Now a Wellesley-based nonprofit has planned a drive to provide diapers to families in need. The goal: 10,000 diapers.
The drive is scheduled for Saturday, May 22, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Linden Square. It is being organized by Kids Backing Kids (https://www.kidsbackingkids.org/), launched in April 2020 by the Rodrigue family.
KBK said many of the young volunteers had never thought much about diapers. But when you do give it some thought, they said, you re left with a lot of questions, like: Why can t federal assistance programs be used to buy diapers? And why are diapers so expensive, costing $80 to $100 per month for just one child? And what could they do to help families who need diapers?
