Every single day in our community tens of thousands of mothers have to use (and re-use) diapers because they can’t afford to purchase enough diapers to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy. It’s a sad fact that one in three families needs help to diaper their babies. Options for Women Chisago County and organizations from across Minnesota and Ohio have joined together to do something about that by collecting over Two Million diapers in one week to help those most in need.
Join us as we set out on a historic journey to make life a little easier for moms
and their babies in our local communities.

​Options for Women will have one drop site in the Chisago County area.
