Thank you to InspirationField for your generous donation of clothes and shoes for the Community Baby Shower planned for Monday in Rocky Ford! We will be giving away diapers, wipes, clothing and great information from our Community Partners! Hope to see you all there!
Our team picked up four pallets of diapers today to be given away at Monday's Community Baby Shower in Rocky Ford. That's enough diapers to give 50 diapers to 500 children! We also received baby wipes. All items were donated by WeeCycle from Aurora. A big thank you to WeeCycle and many other businesses who have provided donations. Be sure to join us Monday in Rocky Ford!
