Mission Food Pantry Helps Women for Healthy Rural Living Distribute Diapers

MILBRIDGE, ME — Women for Healthy Rural Living, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on advancing and promoting the health and well-being of the woman, her family, and her community, is undertaking a Virtual Diaper Drive. Maine Seacoast Mission is helping WHRL distribute their diapers to area parents in need of them.

The Consequences of Diaper Need

Babies who remain too long in a soiled diaper are exposed to potential health risks.

Parents trying to keep their babies in diapers may be making multiple trips to the store, each time increasing their risk for Covid-19 exposure. And if they cannot afford to purchase in bulk, the risk increases with every outing.

Buying diapers should not be a matter of life and death.

Participating in a virtual diaper drive allows us to purchase diapers in bulk, so our dollars go further than yours would at the grocery store!

Our diapers will be distributed through the Maine Seacoast Mission Food Pantry in Cherryfield.

Food Pantry Receives Fresh Milk Deliveries from Shaw’s, Walmart

CHERRYFIELD, ME — Downeast Campus Facilities Manager Scott Shaw sent a photo this morning and a note of explanation. “I just picked up a second round of milk from Shaw’s this morning. Headed to Walmart for more! We had a load on Monday, another today, and the grocers told me to come back tomorrow.

“We will wait until next Monday. I think Washington County will be good until then,” said Scott Shaw.

A big THANK YOU to both Walmart and Shaw’s for their help keeping the Mission Food Pantry well-stocked with good food for the people we serve.

This is what COMMUNITY looks like.

Maine is now facing the greatest food, isolation, and health care crisis in our generation.

Now may be the time to join the Mission as a volunteer and help your neighbors.

And the Mission is here to help now — with the help of some timely volunteers. Maybe that’s you.

If you can make phonecalls to isolated seniors at home, deliver boxes of food to the driveways of folks who need them, or run necessary errands for those who can’t — you can help.

Get started now by sending an email to [email protected] — or call 207-546-5860 and ask for the Volunteer Application.

Together we can make a difference.
