News 10, United Way of Jackson County Diaper Drive

Did you know one in three families struggle to buy diapers for their little ones?

Imagine having to decide whether to pay rent, keep the lights on or buy diapers for your baby. It happens every day in our community.

That's why News 10 has teamed up with the United Way of Jackson County for a diaper drive.

On Tuesday,

in Jackson is celebrating 85 years in business.

And they are encouraging their customers to stop by and say "Happy Birthday" with some diapers for the diaper drive.

Bring diapers to any of their locations, or text to give.

"As a single mom, when I get my paycheck, you pay for your bills, you pay for your housing, you pay for your food. You have this small amount left, so you are like, what am I going to do? Am I going to put gas in my car for the week, am I going to get my child diapers, am I going to be able to pay for fewer prescriptions?" Curtis said.

One of her children has special needs, so a lot of money goes toward medical costs.

She said the diaper drive will be a huge help to her family.

"Anybody who donates or who is in a position to donate, really just gives families peace of mind that their children's needs are going to be met. I think that is really awesome," Curtis said.
