Nonprofit gives away free diapers to young dads on Saturday
Here’s one Father’s Day gift that will be put to good use.
Hundreds of metro Atlanta fathers will receive free diapers for their children as part of Fathers Inc.’s “Daddy Diaper Drive”, which is held in partnership with Huggies.
The purpose of the campaign is to serve low-income fathers ages 25 and younger. The diapers will be distributed at a Father’s Day event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Love Beyond Walls, 3270 East Main St. in College Park.
Each father will receive diapers and wipes until supplies last.
The Atlanta nonprofit’s goal is to encourage a father engagement to the well-being of his children.
Huggies and the “Every Little Bottom” campaign donated 10,000 diapers and wipes to jumpstart the event.
