The Diaper Drive surpassed the numbers from previous years, including the 17,000 diapers and supplies collected in 2022. This year the drive collected 26,000 diapers and supplies, as well as $925 in cash donations this past week. Last week was designated as Diaper Need Awareness Week in Rapid City with the community tasked to donate diapers for distribution by Mommy’s Closet, one of two diaper banks in South Dakota. This year’s numbers also include the supplies received during the diaper collection kickoff effort hosted by Thrivent Financial in late August.
Monetary donations will continue to be accepted through this weekend. Checks can be mailed or dropped off to Mommy’s Closet at 111 New York Street, Rapid City, SD 57701 or donations can be made online as Thrivent Financial is offering a 1 to 2 match and covering the processing fees for those who give using:https://thrivent.cotribute.co/events/799223/detail through October 1st.
