Orlando, FL – In an amazing display of community support, the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County and Head Start of Orange County exceeded their target goal of 15,000 diapers. They collected 25,594 diapers for this year’s diaper drive. All diapers donated were collected for the Central Florida Diaper Bank.
The ELCOC’s CEO, Dr. Scott Fritz, was delighted with the final count, “I am grateful for our supporters, community members, and partners rallying together and donating so many diapers for Orange County families in need. It is heartwarming to see what we can do when we collaborate to make a positive impact in our community.”
