Dear Phil,

This week is Go Beyond's Week of Service and we invite you to participate in our first-ever Diaper Drive to help show support to women and families in your community.

Go Beyond is a church-led week of community service and we have teamed with them to help pregnancy resource centers in Lancaster and Lebanon Counties. Many pregnancy centers in the area are in need of diapers. This Diaper Drive is a simple way to help women in our community and to support those on the front lines of protecting life:

"Sizes 4– 6 are in very short supply. As soon as we receive donations of these sizes, they are just as quickly distributed to clients in need." Susquehanna Valley Pregnancy Services
"Donating to pregnancy resource centers is a tangible way to show women and babies that they are loved." Alison Adams, Director of Advancement - A Woman's Concern Lancaster
"An adequate supply of diapers may prove to be a tangible way of reducing parenting stress and increasing parenting sense of competency, enabling parents to be more sensitive with their children, and thereby improving parenting quality and overall child outcomes." American Academy of Pediatrics, Diaper Need and Its Impact on Child Health (2013)

Please consider donating new, unopened disposable diapers, sizes newborn – Size 6, to benefit your local pregnancy resource center. There are several drop-off locations throughout the area:
