This February, the MiSide Community Impact Network is running its Cupid’s Care Diaper Drive, an effort to help local families facing diaper need. The need for diapers often goes unmet because government assistance programs such as SNAP and WIC do not cover them. With the rising cost of baby essentials, many parents struggle to afford enough diapers for their infants and toddlers, making community support essential.
MiSide, a Detroit-based nonprofit dedicated to strengthening families and communities, aims to collect 10,000 diapers in a matter of weeks. Diapers of all sizes are welcome, and supporters can contribute by dropping them off at designated locations throughout Metro-Detroit through February 28.

Donors who prefer to give financially can also support the drive with online contributions that go directly toward purchasing diapers for families enrolled in MiSide’s EarlyYears programs. According to the donation page, a donation of only $18 can provide diapers for a week. It's been a long time since my wife and I have had to worry about buying diapers, but I still remember the financial struggle, and that is my motivation for donating now.
