Some of the "Unsung Heroes" of the Healthy Baby Diaper Drive
The United Ways of Greater New Haven, Coastal Fairfield County and Western Connecticut have joined together for a regional Healthy Baby Diaper Drive, in partnership with The Diaper Bank in New Haven. There are numerous organizations that are participating in this very important endeavor to collect half a million diapers for needy families in the 33-town region served by the organizations. This article in the New Haven Register highlights a few of the “unsung heroes” that have taken this challenge to new heights.
“Michael Crowe wanted to energize the 3,000 state employees of Covidien as the annual United Way campaign got started this year, so he personally donated 1,000 diapers to the United Way’s Healthy Baby Diaper Drive. …. Crowe’s generous gesture inspired other members of Covidien’s team to match his donation, lighting a spark that has spread among hundreds of employees. Three weeks into the four-week campaign, which started Oct. 26, Covidien employees had gathered more than 25,000 diapers and were on the way to surpassing last year’s total of 30,000.”
