Northampton County Diaper Drive

This semester I have been interning at Representative Steve Samuelson's office in Bethlehem PA. During this intership I have come to be very aware of the problems that constituents in this area face on a day to day basis. With this in mind, I wanted to do something to give back to the community. Many surrounding districts do a diaper drive for their constituents however, there is no diaper drive in the Northampton County that the people living here can benefit from. This is where our office comes in. From now until the end of the semester I will be raising money and collecting diapers for both babies and the elderly in this city so every mother and family who cannot afford diapers can sleep a little better knowing her child or loved one is cleaner, and cared for. This problems does not stop in Bethlehem, nearly one in three mothers finds it difficult to provide for their child. Likewise, for seniors on fixed incomes, purchasing what they often view as their most important item of clothing can cost as much as $1,000 a year. I am now asking you all to donate to this cause. Any little bit can go a long way. Myself along with the families benefitting from this drive will greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you!
