IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — As costs continue for rise for almost all goods in the country, buying diapers is becoming a burden for many families. One organization in Iredell County is making an effort to help.
The organization Pampered Pantry held a diaper drive this month, with help from several local businesses serving as drop-off locations.
Lisa Familio oversees the pantry, and she told reporter Almiya White that one in three families struggle to afford a supply of diapers.
“They were just finding themselves vulnerable and needing to make choices between paying rent, buying medicine, or buying diapers,” Familio said.
