🌟 THANK YOU, COLONIAL HEIGHTS! 🌟
Because of your incredible generosity, our annual Diaper Drive was a huge success! Together, we collected over 1,500 diapers and more than 20 packs of baby wipes for families right here in Colonial Heights.
Your support helps ensure that local parents and caregivers have access to essential items that keep their little ones happy, healthy, and cared for. 💛
A huge shout‑out to everyone who donated, shared the word, or volunteered — we couldn’t do this without you!
Let’s keep lifting up our community, one diaper at a time! 🍼✨
