Members of United Way of Greater New Haven’s Women’s Initiative kicked off their weekend Friday afternoon with a different type of “happy hour,” donating about 3,500 diapers to The Diaper Bank in North Haven.

Childhood wellness is a top priority among Women’s Initiative members, which made partnering with The Diaper Bank a natural fit. Through a distribution network of 66 agencies, The Diaper Bank provides free diapers to poor and low-income families in New Haven, Bridgeport and Middlesex counties.
