Join eKiwanis of Greater Chicago and the Kiwanis Club of Des Plaines for our Community-Wide Baby Shower Drive! The Baby Shower Drive will benefit Breakfast with Baby, a program of the Des Plaines Salvation Army. Through this two-week-long, community-wide event, the clubs seek to make a difference for the one in three local mothers facing diaper need. With drop-off locations around the Des Plaines and Park Ridge area, community members may donate baby items or make financial donations.
Donated items will be distributed to families demonstrating financial need who have a child under one year of age or a mother who is at least seven months pregnant. On the second Saturday of each month, the Salvation Army in Des Plaines provides spiritual and material support through the Breakfast with Baby program. Both Kiwanis Clubs have a longstanding partnership with BWB.
“A lack of diapers increases the risk of disease, including diaper rash, staph infections, and hepatitis. It also increases the possibility of child abuse such as Shaken Baby Syndrome as the babies cry more when wearing dirty diapers,” explained Cheryl Hagedorn, Director of the Breakfast with Baby program. “Support from the community helps to minimize these risks.”
To donate baby items, stop by one of the below drop-off locations during business hours between Sunday, September 15th – Thursday, September 26th:

Through this two-week-long, community-wide event, the clubs seek to make a difference for the one in three local mothers facing diaper need. With drop-off locations around the Des Plaines and Park Ridge area, community members may donate baby items or make financial donations.
Donated items will be distributed to families demonstrating financial need who have a child under one year of age or a mother who is at least seven months pregnant.
