Donations for state Rep. Suzanne Ness’s fifth annual Diaper Drive will be collected through Monday, Nov. 3, at locations throughout the 66th House District.
Donations will be provided to food pantries across the district, which covers parts of McHenry and Kane counties. Amazon also donated 19,000 diapers and 108 cases of baby wipes for the D300 Food Pantry in Carpentersville.
Community members are invited to donate diapers of all sizes and unopened packages of baby wipes. Collection boxes are available at:

New this year is a Diaper Drive Wishlist on Amazon, allowing diapers to be purchased through the site and sent directly to Ness’s office. The list can be accessed at a.co/2y4DbJt.
“We’re so grateful for the way our community shows up every year to support families,” Ness said in a news release. “Diapers are a basic need that many families struggle to afford, and these donations make a real difference in their daily lives.”
Last year, more than 10,000 diapers and 6,000 baby wipes were collected, according to the release.
For questions or assistance with a drop-off or ordering from a wish list, contact Ness’s office at info@repsnessil66.com or 224-484-8620.
