ANDIE’S POST
Hey friends! Ubc is the grateful host of the McLennan County Diaper Collective, and they are in need of our support. Nationwide, 46% of all families struggle to provide diapers for their children. In McLennan County, 68% struggle to provide diapers for their children. One of my favorite movie quotes EVER comes from the cartoon Robots: See a need, fill a need. It's how I try to function in the world, it's how I've raised my kids, and as followers of Jesus, it captures the heart of the gospel. The need I see lies with the Diaper Collective. Their largest gap in their supply exists with size 3, 4, 5, and 6 diapers. This year, for both Mother's Day and Father's Day, we are doing a diaper drive! You are invited to bring diapers this Sunday and next to help fill the need we see. Together, we can make a difference for families struggling to meet their children's basic needs! I'm proud of us, and look forward to the opportunity to help!
THIS WEEK
Youth Group- Wednesday, 6pm
Mothers Day Diaper Drive- Sunday, before/after church (see main article for details)
