CRITICAL NEED - Due to summer vacations, the Western PA Diaper Bank is lacking in volunteers this month. We have scheduled a volunteer evening shift on Thursday, June 27, from 5pm-8 pm. Please plan to attend for however long you can and bring friends, family, and colleagues! Other days are available if you can come in then, too. Please email Cathy Battle at cbattle@wpadiaperbank.org with your availability. The Diaper Bank is located in Wilkinsburg, near the intersection of Penn Avenue and North Braddock Avenue.
