Communication Disorders Association and Kirksville Salvation Army to Host Diaper Drive

The Communication Disorders Association and Kirksville Salvation Army will host a diaper drive Feb. 15-March 2.
 
Disposable diapers cost $70 to $80 per month per baby. One-in-three American families report experiencing diaper need but there are not government-assisted programs, like food stamps, to cover diapers. Without diapers, babies cannot participate in early childhood education. Diaper need affects the physical, mental and economic well-being of children and parents.
 
Drop off sites for diapers include a table from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Feb. 15-19 in the Student Union Building and at the Truman Speech and Hearing Clinic, located in the Health Science Building, 2252.
