Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – July 7, 2024 – Almost 5,000 diapers were given away on the north side of Jonesboro this weekend, and we have a local non-profit to thank for planning the event.
Jonesboro’s very own Parker Park was filled with buzzing families participating in the Diaper Give Away. A local non-profit Mama 2 Mama hosted its fourth event for local caregivers needing a helping hand.
Director Brionna Palmer said that Mama 2 Mama was launched to empower moms with the tools necessary to succeed, and this event was a big success.
Before the event even began, there were 24 registered families and a gym full of eager citizens. Families were presented with not only giveaways, but with tools to further maintain and carry out their parenting goals. There were resources available such as college scholarships and parenting education.
Each participant also left with a full stomach! There were hotdogs, BBQ nachos, and dessert as a perk for attendance.
After the two-hour event, 64 families were assisted, and 4,937 diapers were given away!
