Hawaii Island police hold first diaper drive in Kona
Hawaii police are running their first diaper drive in Kona this Saturday, good news for local families struggling to afford baby supplies.
- Officers will collect donations at the entrance of the Kona Walmart on October 3rd, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- They are asking for baby diapers, toddler pull-ups, baby wipes, and cash donations.
- Everything collected goes to LIV Pregnancy and Women's Wellness, a local nonprofit.
- Diapers are a common gap for low-income families because food aid programs do not cover them.
Outlook: If turnout is strong, expect the department to make the drive a regular event.
