Diaper Duty Calls! Packing Orders at Milwaukee Diaper Mission
Overview:
Did you know... A third of families in Milwaukee struggle to afford enough diapers to keep their baby clean, dry, and healthy and 68% of families with children in Milwaukee qualify for low-income status, yet no state or federal government assistance programs (like SNAP and WIC) supplies these families with diapers. That is why Sunbeam Kids is thrilled to be partnering with Milwaukee Diaper Mission to spend time packing diaper and baby wipe orders in the warehouse on Thursday, November 7th from 5:30 to 7:00 pm!
What to expect:
Join other SBK families at the Milwaukee Diaper Mission warehouse in Franklin to pack diaper orders, wrap diapers for future orders, and restock diapers on shelves.
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
All ages are welcome. We have space for approximately 5 families depending on the size of families that register - please use an accurate headcount in your registration for this reason.
What to wear & bring:
No need to bring anything to this project, but kids should wear their SBK shirts/lanyards if they are willing. Closed toe shoes are required since this project takes place in a warehouse.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
This project is open to members* only at this time. We are happy to open any remaining spots to guests if space allows approximately one week prior to the project date. Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can fill your spot.
A big thanks to our Project Leader Rachl for leading this project, and thank you for lending a little hand!

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
