Jim Himes at the Congressional Dialog on Giving Babies a Healthy Start

Over 65 area business and civic leaders, government representatives, and community leaders gathered at the Oronoque Country Club for the Giving Babies a Healthy Start: A Congressional Dialogue breakfast on Monday, December 14th. The breakfast was a culmination of the work of the United Ways of Coastal Fairfield County, Greater New Haven, and Western CT to collect half a million diapers for lower income families, and to raise the awareness level of the challenges facing them in caring for their babies.  Listen to Jim Hime's full speach on giving babies a healthy start.

Touch-A-Truck provided the opportunity for children to get close to their favorite full-sized vehicles in a protected environment. Vehicles from various municipal offices, including the Fire, Police, Parks and Public Works departments, as well as vehicles from local companies attended. The price of admission was disposable diapers that are being collected for United Way’s Healthy Baby Diaper Drive and will be distributed free to local families in need through Shoreline nonprofit agencies and The Diaper Bank.
