[broadstreet zone=”53130″]

FRAMINGHAM – The Lutheran Church of Framingham and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, partners in mission and ministry, will hold a virtual diaper collection to benefit The Diaper Project at A Place To Turn.

Diapers, baby wipes, and baby shampoo are not covered by SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or any other federal or state
programs. This collection provides diapers, baby wipes, and baby shampoo to families in our Metrowest community who are in financial distress.

Up to 3,000 families in Natick and Framingham alone struggle to buy diapers, according to A Place To Turn.
