Through the generous approval of my higher ups, the diaper drive to benefit A Baby Center of Hyannis, is now officially up and running at Mashpee PD. I am particularly proud of this drive because it directly benefits our community, there are many charities out there that you will not be able to see how your generosity affects the recipients. The diaper drive will benefit families living on the Cape and Islands who fall under the federal government guidelines for WIC. According to A Baby Center's website :http://www.ababycenter.org/abc/bc/index.html, there is a need of around 15,000 diapers PER MONTH needed to accomodate the babies living in our area.

Good for you! I personally know of a few people that the Baby Center has helped.
I am a little bummed that I never heard back from the Birthday People but I am also too busy right now to pursue it any further so that must be a sign.
Good Luck and may you collect a ton of diapers!
do you have a question for birthday wishes? I could probably answer it for you. They do take home made birthday cakes, so if you ever feel the need to make a rainbow cake .... I'm just sayin' .... so far this month I haven't seen any november birthdays posted for the cape facilities .... but they tend to be at the end of the month, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.
