A huge thank you to our friends at Primrose School of Lake Norman for hosting a diaper drive this month to benefit our Pampered Pantry! 💛 We are grateful for community partners like you who help us support local families with essential supplies.

We are kicking off our Diaper drive this week! We are accepting diapers, wipes, and diaper rash cream to benefit our neighbors in need through Iredell County Partnership for Young Children and their Pampered Pantry. Donations will be collected through 9 AM on September 30th and can be dropped off at the table in the Pre-K hallway. They have specifically asked for training pants 2t-6t, diaper cream, and sensitive wipes, as those are not donated often. Let's blow them away with a huge collection of diapers, wipes, and diaper cream to help those around us in need!
