Too many families in Brown County are forced to make difficult choices when it comes to meeting basic needs. Nearly 1 in 3 households in the county live below the ALICE® Threshold*, including 25% of families with children who struggle to afford essentials like diapers.

To help address this need, Brown County United Way and the Greater Green Bay Labor Council are
running their 14th Annual Diaper Drive, starting from Monday, September 15 through Friday, October 17.
The drive coincides with National Diaper Need Awareness Week (September 15–21).

The diaper drive collects diapers, pull-ups, and wipes for local families, distributing them through area
nonprofits. Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:

• All Brown County Festival Foods (Through October 9th)
• Hy-Vee
• Woodman’s Market
• All Brown County Library branches
• All Brown County Pomp’s Tire locations
• Humana (For Humana Employees through October 3rd)

Donors can also support the drive online through Target and Amazon Community Registries, with items
shipped directly to Brown County United Way. Registry links are available at

Kimberly-Clark is jump-starting the diaper drive with a crucial donation of diapers and pull-ups. Brown
County Executive Troy Streckenbach is recognizing the diaper drive and National Diaper Need Awareness Week with a county proclamation.

“The diaper drive has provided vital support to Brown County families since 2011,” said Robyn Davis,
President and CEO of Brown County United Way. “Last year’s diaper drive collected nearly 95,000
diapers, pullups, and wipes and helped more than 1,400 families.”

“More than one million diapers and other baby and toddler items have been collected since the diaper
drive’s inception,” said Steve McFarlane, Greater Green Bay Labor Council President. “With the
community’s continued support, we will meet our goal of collecting 100,000 diapers this year.”

ALICE® is an acronym that stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. Community
support makes it possible for Brown County United Way to invest in the Wisconsin ALICE® Report.
