Running throughout May, the drive aims to collect 7,500 diapers across all DuTrac branch locations to support families through distribution partnerships with United Way Dubuque Area Tri-States and Hiney Helpers of the Quad Cities. Last year’s inaugural drive resulted in the collection of more than 3,700 diapers, making a meaningful impact on local families. With increased awareness and participation, DuTrac is setting an even higher goal for 2025.
“We know that many hardworking families in our communities struggle to afford basic necessities, and no parent should have to choose between buying diapers and other essentials,” said Andy Hawkinson, DuTrac President and CEO. “Through the generosity of our members and the power of community partnerships, we can help ease this burden and make a real difference in the lives of local families.” Members of the public are encouraged to donate diapers of any size or making a monetary donation at any DuTrac branch.
All donations will stay local, with contributions made at each DuTrac branch distributed to partner organizations serving that specific community. For more information on how to contribute, visit DuTrac.org or contact Sherrie Keating at 563-585-8415 or skeating@dutrac.
