The Natural Helpers have begun a diaper drive that will run through mid-March. Senior Kavita Rana is the president of the Natural Helpers and is working hard to make this a successful event.

Nicole Macchio: What is the goal for the diaper drive?

Kavita Rana: The goal of the diaper drive is to raise enough diapers for people in need. The drive is something that will be very helpful for families who can’t afford to buy diapers for their child. It’s meant to relieve some of the stress that those families feel.

NM: Is this the first time that the Natural Helpers have done this?

KR: Yes, this is the first time we are doing this drive and we hope it’s successful. As I said before, the diapers will be going to families who really need them.

NM: Where are the diapers going, and who will they help?

KR: The diaper drive is sponsored by the United Way and all diapers go to families in need. So, after we collect them, United Way will come and take our donations to distribution centers.

NM: Why did you choose a diaper drive as a fundraiser?

KR: The secretary of Natural Helpers, Jill Bendlak, volunteers with the United Way and they asked us if we would want to participate.

NM: Is there anything else that you want to add about the drive?

KR: Since this is our first year, we hope that it is successful so that we can continue it in future years.
