CoxHealth holds Diaper Drive to benefit area agencies

 
This is the second year for the event; organizers hope to collect 10,000 diapers

Every year, many local babies are born to families who cannot afford necessities for their child, including diapers. March 1-29, CoxHealth in Springfield, Branson and Monett will hold a Diaper Drive to collect this, the most basic and necessary of infant supplies.

Donated disposable diapers in all sizes will be given to Diaper Bank of the Ozarks in Springfield, Crosslines and the Tri-County Pregnancy Center in the Monett area, and Jesus was Homeless and Christian Associates in the Branson area.

This year CoxHealth hopes to collect 10,000 diapers from employees and the public. In addition to the drop-off locations below, collection bins will be available during the 26th annual CoxHealth Baby Affair at Cox South on Saturday, March 29. Drop-off locations:
