NEW JERSEY FAMILIES IN DIAPER NEED RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM HUGGIES & SHOPRITE DURING NATIONAL DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK

Quarter million diapers to be donated to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey

WHAT:

As part of a storewide initiative to provide diapers to families in need, ShopRite and Huggies are donating 250,000 diapers to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. The donation is part of a larger No Baby Unhugged effort to tackle diaper need where ShopRite and Huggies will donate 500,000 diapers and $10,000 to benefit the National Diaper Bank Network.

In honor of National Diaper Need Awareness Week (September 23 – 29, 2019), Huggies and ShopRite will gather at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey on September 26, 2019 to share remarks about the program’s impact with local agencies.

New Jersey residents can still get involved by purchasing a pack of Huggies at any ShopRite or shoprite.com from September 15 to September 28.  Every purchase of Huggies will spark a donation of a day’s worth of diapers, up to 500,000, to the National Diaper Bank Network.
