Atlanta Postal Credit Union (APCU) and its community-minded brand, Center Parc Credit Union (CPCU), will host a month-long diaper drive at four metro Atlanta locations in July to benefit Georgia’s only baby supply bank, Helping Mamas.
“At APCU and Center Parc, we’re interested in serving our communities where they need it most,” said Chuck Head, president and CEO of both brands. “When Helping Mamas shared with us that more than 300,000 children live in poverty in our metro Atlanta community, we knew we needed to help.”
According to statistics from the National Diaper Bank, families can spend between $80 to $100 a month on diapers for one child alone. And the cost can rise if families don’t have transportation to big box stores. In 2021, Helping Mamas served more than 50,000 individuals in the Atlanta area by providing more than one million baby supplies and period care products.
“Community is key for us,” Head said. “We truly care for the people they serve as well as their neighbors. Partnering with Helping Mamas gives us an opportunity to further our outreach – and we couldn’t be more excited to do so.”
