Help Babies in Need by Donating Diapers This Christmas Season
WaterWerks Agency Celebrates Ten Years of the Annual Christmas Diaper Drop
After nine years and 500,000 diapers collected for families in need in Newfoundland and Labrador, local marketing and advertising agency, WaterWerks, is ready to celebrate the tenth year of the WaterWerks Christmas Diaper Drop. And they’re hoping to block their office with diapers and need your help to do it.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. This started when my son Ryder was in diapers and I look at my almost 10-year-old now and feel so much gratitude for all the people who’ve joined us and supported the Diaper Drop over the years. What can put you more in the Christmas Spirit than giving something so simple that makes such a huge difference?
Julie Rowsell, Creative Director
Diaper need is a devastating reality for many parents. When WaterWerks learned just how many families experience this, the entire staff was deeply affected by the thought of choosing between clean diapers and other essentials, like food. They have spent the last decade collecting diapers, or money to buy diapers, from everyone who’s willing to help. The Community Food Sharing Association provides tax receipts for financial donations and collects the diapers so they can be delivered to parents in need across Newfoundland and Labrador.
Every year, there is an overwhelming sense of joy that comes with the sight and smell of thousands of diapers in our office. (Clean diapers!) The only thing that beats that feeling is seeing the faces of the people who literally pull up and bring in diapers – box by box. We are beyond grateful to every single one of them and I know the families that get these diapers are too.
