In honor of the National Day of Service The Catch A Program will host a Pantry Love Diaper Drive on Monday, January 18, 2021 from 1PM-4PM at The Jameson at Kincora. Pantry Love is a program that allows local community members and organizations to come together and collect items that are most needed in the community. 1 in 5 families in the DMV-area lives below the Federal Poverty Level and 0% of diaper needs are covered by food stamps and assistance programs (SNAP and WIC)s. Join us by donating diapers to help keep babies clean, dry and healthy.
The event will take place at The Jameson at Kincora 20725 Wood Quay Drive Sterling, VA 20166.
Help babies in need and struggling families in our community.
In accordance with local CDC guidelines, all donations will be received via a drive-through system that allows for social distancing. People will need to remain in their vehicles as volunteers unload their donations from their vehicles.
