Royal Credit Unions Diaper Drive Makes a Meaningful Impact

Human InterestCommunityPress Release

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – Royal Credit Union (Royal) successfully hosted its second annual Diaper Drive throughout May, supporting Feed My People Food Bank, St. Croix Valley Food Bank, and the Diaper Bank of Minnesota. Through the generosity of community members and team members, Royal collected more than 10,000 diapers, 134 packages of wipes, and raised over $6,600 to assist families in need.  

This effort equates to approximately 860 families receiving short-term emergency diaper relief across the communities Royal serves. 

“We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our Diaper Drive,” said Heidi Cornelius, Community Relations Coordinator at Royal. “This drive shows what is possible when our community comes together. Because diapers are not covered by many assistance programs, donations like these help fill an important gap and ensure families have access to essential items for their children.” 

 

Royal locations accepted donations of disposable diapers and wipes, as well as monetary donations to assist the three non-profits in purchasing additional supplies. Every contribution will go toward supporting families in need of clean diapers across northwestern Wisconsin and the greater metro area in Minnesota.
