CNY Diaper Bank distributes 25,500 diapers

Thanks to a $10,000 grant from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, the CNY Diaper Bank in Liverpool was able to distribute 25,500 diapers to more than 500 babies in need in the Syracuse area at its Nov. 18 distribution event. In addition, the organization gave out 360 Penguin Young Readers board books courtesy of Too Small to Fail and 200 pairs of Hanna Andersson pajamas thanks to Baby2Baby. The diaper bank works with 36 partner agencies in the area to distribute more than 185,000 diapers to more than 3,500 local babies and toddlers each month. The organization has distributed more than 3 million diapers since its inception in 2016. The diaper bank will offer a second distribution event at a later date this year. To learn more, visit cnydiaperbank.org.
