diaperdrive1Jamestown (CSi)  Stutsman County Housing Authority Assistant Executive Director Cassie DuBray, organized a diaper drive for the city of Jamestown in July to August 2016.

The idea stemmed from a need for diapers brought up during the July South Central Regional Homeless Coaltion meeting at which DuBray is secretary/treasurer. Several agencies at the meeting including Salvation Army, and Community Action indicated that they did not have diapers for families who may need them.

The goal of the fundraiser was to collect $1,000 for the purchase of diapers and wipes for donation. DuBray collected $242 through personal donations made to an online crowdrise fundraiser site and an addition $100 in cash donations to purchase diapers (and wipes) for area agencies. Hugo’s Family Marketplace donated $754.93 to purchase diapers and wipes. Hugos placed a special diaper order for the event.
