First Call for Help has received a $500 grant from the Midwest Energy Community Fund to replenish the supply of diapers for the Diaper Stash.
Diapers are one of the most expensive items that families must purchase on a regular basis and are necessary for up to five years.
The Diaper Stash, begun in 2016, provides a package of 30-40 diapers depending on the age of child, and a single package of baby wipes once a month to families in need.
It is meant to be a supplement so that when their cash is low, they will still be able to provide for dry and healthy bottoms.
Since Jan. 1, 2021, the Diaper Stash has provided 2,022 diapers to 11 families in need.
For more information, contact First Call for Help of Ellis County, 607 E. 13th St., Hays, KS 67601, or call 785-623-2800.
