The Carteret Partnership for Children has been awarded a $5,000 grant for our Community Diaper Closet from the International Paper Foundation.
1 in 3 families struggle to afford basic hygiene products. As explained by the Diaper Bank of North Carolina “Public safety net programs such as WIC and SNAP assistance do not cover the purchase of diapers and wipes, often leaving families to make the difficult decision between buying diapers or other necessities with their limited funds. For families in need, something as small as a diaper can have a significant impact”.
This grant is just one example of International Paper’s commitment to the company’s signature causes, which include education, hunger, health and wellness, disaster relief and initiatives that improve our planet. The company is committed to addressing critical community needs where our employees live and work.
We thank International Paper for its commitment to the children and families of Carteret County!
