SUCCESSFUL DIAPER DRIVE GARNERS OVERWHELMING COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Perry County Tribune

Perry County Tribune’s Diaper Drive, cohosted with National Telehealth and the Perry County Health Network, concluded on a high note, leaving a heartwarming impact on the local community. The office window at the Perry County Tribune has been adorned with a heartwarming display of donated diapers and essential supplies, amounting to about a third of the total collected. The response from the community was nothing short of phenomenal, with residents coming together to support this noble cause in impressive numbers.

With the event officially wrapped up, the organizers are eagerly tallying the contributions to determine the final count. Even after the drive, a couple of businesses expressed their desire to contribute, which is expected to push the donation figures even higher. As a result, there is a strong belief that the grand total of donations will likely reach into the thousands. The Perry County Tribune extends its sincere gratitude to everyone who participated, donated, and volunteered, making this Diaper Drive a tremendous success. The support received from the local businesses and residents highlights the strength of community spirit and the ability to make a positive impact on the lives of families in need. The Perry County Tribune will soon announce the final total, and let us all celebrate the power of unity and compassion in our small county.
