The Working Women’s Network and the Yale Libraries Work/Life Committee organized a diaper drive in February to benefit New Reach, a local organization that supports and stabilizes vulnerable children, families and individuals through emergency shelter, housing, provision of basic needs, and other services. More than 22 boxes full of diapers and wipes were collected at more than 20 locations across campus. The organizers of the event would like to thank all of the box hosts for their participation and support. New Reach was extremely grateful for the donation – as soon as the diapers had arrived, they were quickly distributed to families served by the organization.
