SUMMARY:Copper Country Great Start Family Coalition to Host Annual Diaper Drive
DESCRIPTION:Baraga\, Houghton\, Keweenaw Counties – The Copper Country Great Start Parent Coalition \n  \nThe Copper Country Great Start Collaborative is gearing up for our annual diaper drive to help provide essential items like diapers and wipes for families in our community. Each year\, the Family Coalition collects new unopened packages of diapers and wipes for the Keweenaw Family Resource Center’s (KFRC) Baby Closet.

All donations stay local and directly benefit families in the Copper Country.
