The diaper pantry lost their supply of diapers and they need your help to replenish. Just one pack of diapers could mean the world to a family in need. So, how can you help? Ask your co-workers or family to purchase a bag or box of diapers, hold a diaper drive at your school or church, and of course financial donations are always welcome too. Thanks to Abe FM for lending a helping hand by setting up drop locations for donations at Babies-R-Us, Walgreens on McArthur and all Shop-N-Save locations. For more information visit The Parent Place at http://www.tppos.org/diaper_pantry.html  or call 217-753-8730.
