ELCOC Diaper Drive Collection
Goal: 30,000 Diapers
Orlando, FL –The Early Learning Coalition of Orange County (ELCOC) is now collecting diapers for Orange County families. This year’s goal is 30,000 diapers. All diapers will be delivered to the Central Florida Diaper Bank. Babies use up to 3,000 diapers in their first year of life alone. Pull-ups are also needed during toilet training with the goal of a child not needing diapers at all.
This year’s Diaper Drive kicked off on GivingTuesday, December 3rd. ELCOC has created an Amazon Wish List containing the diaper sizes most needed. Donors can purchase diapers and have them shipped directly to the ELCOC offices. Donors can also bring boxes of diapers to the Diaper Drive Drop-Off on Saturday, February 22nd at the Dr. James R. Smith Neighborhood Center located at 1723 Bruton Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32805 from 10 am to 1 pm.
ELCOC is teaming up with the following community partners to meet the 30,000-diaper collection goal:
