Did you know that:
- 1 in 3 families in Wood County are considered at or near the poverty level
- Average diapering costs have increased 20% in the last 2 years
- State and federal assistance does not help with diaper and other basic baby needs
Join Rotary sponsored Leadership Marshfield participant Sarah Chy & her team as they work to help families in need by holding a Community Baby Shower! The team will be collecting basic baby items and distributing them to 6 area agencies that provide direct services to families. The collection drive will be taking place from April 3rd through the 14th. Items being collected include diapers, wipes, pull-ups, bottles, sippy cups, gender-neutral onesies & sleepers as well as some larger items like car seats & playpens. There are 14 collection locations around town including the Marshfield Area United Way office at 612 W Blodgett St.

There are multiple ways to donate to this event including shopping for items and dropping them at a local collection point, shopping online (check out the registries at Target, Walmart, and Amazon!)and having items shipped directly to the United Way office, or making a monetary donation on the United Way website (don't forget to reference Community Baby Shower in the Donor Notes!).
