Next week, The Diaper Train, the largest diaper bank in Wake County, is joining forces with businesses along Glenwood South and in Raleigh for a virtual fundraiser to raise money and collect diapers for families in need.
The event kicks off with one in-person event on Tuesday, Nov. 9, with a Pack the Truck diaper collection event at Lynnwood Brewing Concern. The public can stop by to donate diapers between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m., and Lynnwood will donate $1 to the cause for each beer sold. Donations of wipes and board books will also be accepted.
Plates Kitchen, Raleigh Beer Garden and The Raleigh Wine Shop are also participating in an online raffle through Nov. 12.
The Diaper Train has provided over 5 million diapers for Wake County families since its inception in 2010.
