Neighbor Spotlight The communications committee would like to highlight the contribution of one of our neighbors to an important cause. In 2010 this member of our community made the commitment to collect diapers at the Sports Park from September 10th to 14th and distribute them to various charities. This year she hopes to continue in the spirit of helping others. A member of the communications committee asked her some questions. Thank You, Kellie.
outgrow a size but still have a few left over. We can accept those! Just put them in a ziploc baggie and label the outside with the size. Everything helps!

I found them this year (about a month ago) while researching the resources available to families who struggle to afford enough diapers for their little ones. Who does the diaper drive benefit? 2. The Diaper Drive collection will replenish the hrpch stores. Since 2011, the Diaper Bank has distributed packages of diaper to over 3,000 children (March 2011-July 2012) and continues to see increases in those requesting assistance every day. Because of this, the Diaper Bank is in need of not only diapers, but wipes, formula, baby food, and new and gently used toys, baby clothes, and maternity clothes. How can the Wildhorse Community help? 3. Wildhorse is such a diverse and active community! With so many homes and so many generous families, a little will go a long way! The main need is diapers! Did you know that a baby can go through 8-10 diapers a day! There are several ways that we can accept diaper donations. ANY size in the big boxes, the sealed plastic sleeves or loose in a ziploc baggie. As a mom, my little one will often
