Laurens, SC – The Upstate Pregnancy Center is set to host a Diaper Drive-Thru event on Tuesday, August 12, from 4 PM to 6 PM. This event, aimed at supporting families in need, will take place in the parking lot of Wattsville Drug, located at 24 Sirrine Street.

The Diaper Drive-Thru will provide free diapers and wipes to families without any questions asked. Households attending the event are limited to receiving one pack of diapers and one pack of wipes per child, with a maximum of two children eligible per household visit. First-time visitors are required to present a photo ID and additional documentation for each child, such as a birth certificate, Medicaid card, WIC card, or foster placement documentation. However, returning families will not need to provide any documentation to receive these essential supplies.

Ensuring a respectful and efficient distribution process, families will remain in their vehicles as volunteers deliver the supplies directly to them. This setup is designed to uphold the dignity and privacy of families, particularly during times of financial strain, as highlighted by the organizers. The event aims to foster a sense of community support, making it easier for families to access vital resources without facing unnecessary hurdles.

In addition to the diaper distribution, the Carolina Pregnancy Center’s Mobile Unit may be present at the event, offering additional resources for families. The Mobile Unit provides pregnancy testing, limited OB ultrasounds (excluding gender revelations), and consultations regarding pregnancy options, all free of charge and without the need for insurance.

This initiative is a response to the increasing demand for baby supplies among families in their communities. With the challenges posed by economic conditions, the Upstate Pregnancy Center recognizes the necessity of these support systems to lessen the burden on families raising young children. The event serves as an opportunity for those who might be struggling to access necessary items, ensuring they receive assistance in a way that is both respectful and compassionate.

As families navigate the complexities of parenting during difficult economic periods, events like the Diaper Drive-Thru stand out as crucial lifelines. They not only provide essential supplies but also foster a sense of unity and support within the community. The Upstate Pregnancy Center encourages all families in need to take advantage of this opportunity, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they require for their children.

The Upstate Pregnancy Center is committed to serving its local community, and events like the Diaper Drive-Thru are a testament to that commitment. Families in need are urged to mark their calendars for August 12 and to utilize this unique service designed to provide assistance with dignity and respect.
