Donation Diaper Drive Initiative Provides Essential Needs for Families

AUSTIN, Texas - April 20, 2023 - PRLog -- The United Heritage Charity Foundation (UHCF) is hosting a diaper drive to benefit PATH, a local non-profit based in Tyler, Texas, to help support local families. PATH bridges the gap in its community by giving resources to those in need and empowers East Texas citizens by giving them the services and resources they need to be self-sufficient and thrive.

Many new parents across East Texas struggle to buy diapers each month. On average one baby goes through 6,000 diapers in their first two years of life. The closest diaper bank to Smith County is located in Dallas and resources can be limited. PATH is one of the only agencies in the region that regularly distributes diapers. United Heritage Credit Union is asking anyone interested in participating to give to this meaningful cause, as it helps to provide families with a basic necessity that government safety-net programs do not recognize.

United Heritage Credit Union is committed to supporting the communities near our Tyler branch through our partnership with PATH in their diaper drive as a part of our ongoing efforts to give back to the communities that we serve. We encourage anyone who is able to donate to this important cause to help us make a difference in the lives of those around us. Diaper donations are being collected within UHCU lobbies throughout the drive.

Here are some details about the Donation Drive – Diapers for PATH:

• The donation drive is running now until April 29.
• UHCU is accepting diapers – Newborn to size 6 (preferred sizes 2, 3, and 4). We will accept open packages of diapers!
• Donations are being accepted at all branches for individuals who would like to give.
  • Barrels are out in the UHCU branch lobbies for individuals to drop off diapers.
• Diapers collected during these drives are stored for use for the entire year. Your commitment to donating diapers helps babies stay clean and healthy.
