ALEXANDRIA, VA – Did you know that 1 in 3 U.S. families experience diaper need?

On Sunday, May 2, from 12:00-2:30 p.m., the Old Presbyterian Meeting House (OPMH) will be holding a socially distant drive-through diaper drive, accepting all diaper sizes. OPMH is located at 323 S Fairfax St, Alexandria, VA 22314. You can drive by and drop off diapers on either the Fairfax or Royal St. sides of the church.

The following day OPMH will donate all diapers to local organizations, including: Alexandria Community Services, Casa Chirilagua, and the West End Pantry, who will then distribute them to families in need.

Can’t make it to the diaper drive? You can also donate money toward the drive online via opmh.org/give (use the pull-down to choose “Diaper Drive Donation”) and OPMH will buy diapers to donate to said local organizations.

Thank you so much for supporting those in your local community. Should you have any questions, please contact OPMH Member Pamela Kicak at: [email protected]
