Baby Wipes and Diaper Drive

As part of our outreach activities, we were looking for places where we could serve during the pandemic. A pregnancy center in Toronto that supports families for pregnancy and parenting had seen a dramatic increase in the use of their Care Closet at the Pregnancy Centre. The Centre provides families with diapers, wipes and formula as needed. In the past year, they saw a dramatic rise in the total number of visits, with the greatest need for wipes and diapers. The Ladies wing in collaboration with the Seva team initiated a project to collect wipes and diapers. The collection happened over a period of 2 months and at the end of May, we were able to collect around 4703 diapers and 7316 wipes.
