State Representative Ryan Spain has initiated his 7th Annual Holiday Diaper Drive, urging community members to contribute to families in need during the holiday season. The drive aims to collect essential items such as diapers, baby wipes, and diaper cream for young families.
Spain highlighted the challenges faced by many families: “Nearly 1 in 2 families in the U.S. struggle to afford diapers, but programs like WIC and SNAP do not cover diapers and many other items families need to care for a baby,” he said. He emphasized the importance of local food pantries in supporting these needs but acknowledged their difficulty in meeting high demand. “This annual diaper drive has become a way for us to help fill the gap as the holiday season approaches so families can sleep a little easier," Spain added.
Donations are accepted until December 11 and can be delivered or shipped directly to Spain’s Peoria office. Contributions can also be made via an Amazon wish list.
Drop-off or shipment address:
5407 N. University St., Arbor Hall, Suite B, Peoria, IL 61614
A Drive-Thru Donation Event is scheduled for December 11 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Illinois Central College North Campus – Arbor Hall.
All donations will support local food and diaper pantries within the 73rd House District. Those interested in hosting remote donation sites or seeking further information can contact Rep. Spain’s office at 309-690-7373.
