BlueClaws Collecting Diapers at May 5th Game

JERSEY SHORE, NJ - The BlueClaws are partnering with Child Care Resources on a Diaper Drive at the 6:35 pm game on Thursday, May 5th.

Fans can drop off diapers at the ballpark that night at a trailer along the third base concourse behind Section 110. The diapers will then be distributed throughout the Jersey Shore by Child Care Resources.

"There is indeed a strong need for diapers around the Jersey Shore and we're happy to help collect diapers and raise awareness for the need," said Jim McNamara, executive director of BlueClaws Charities. "We're fortunate enough to work with a great organization in Child Care Resources and help them with their year-round efforts."

Diaper need is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers, to remain clean, dry, and healthy. Unlike other basic needs such as food and heat, there are no government 'safety net' programs that help families obtain diapers. Kim Perrelli, Executive Director of Child Care Resources explains that providing diapers to a family in need can lead to outcomes like “an increase in parental happiness and a reduction in stress. It also helps with the ability to spend income on other basic needs.”
