[October 29, 2024]
Christine Short, an Edward Jones financial
advisor in Lincoln, is supporting Community Action Partnership of
Central Illinois by using her office as a drop-off location for a
diaper drive.

 To
help in this effort, our branch is collecting all brands and sizes
of diapers/wipes (larger sizes 4 to 6 are especially welcome).
Local residents may help make a positive impact in the community by
bringing items to our Edward Jones office during regular business
hours from November 1 to November 27, 2024. Monetary gifts,
including gift cards, cannot be accepted.
Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois is a local
non—profit organization dedicated to helping local communities. The
Early Head Start Center-based programs use thousands of diapers each
year. On average, an infant uses 10 diapers per day!
According to the Illinois Department of Human
Services, "The USDA does not currently have a waiver for states to
allow customers to purchase diapers with SNAP/WIC benefits.”
”Unfortunately, this is a significant burden on our
families, and we do whatever we can to help— such as a diaper drive.
Therefore, our grant money can be used to help our classrooms and
families in other ways such as educational materials, connecting
with other resources, and training for our staff to better serve our
families" said Head Start Director Kristen Conklen.

located at 515 Broadway Street, Lincoln.
