Junior Service League of Beaufort collects more than 25K diapers for local families

BEAUFORT, S.C. (WTOC) - The Junior Service League of Beaufort announced Monday that it collected more than 25,000 diapers for local families in its second annual community diaper drive.

The drive ran from September through Oct. 31. Community members were invited to drop off new, unopened diapers at locations in downtown Beaufort, Port Royal and Lady’s Island.

This year, the service league’s goal was 10,000 diapers, which the organization more than doubled in donations.

“When we set our goal at 10,000, we hoped our community would show up,” said Kirstin Denny, 2026 diaper drive chair for the Junior Service League of Beaufort. “We never imagined more than 25,000 diapers. This community proved that every mom has people behind her.”

The diapers will be given to local families through the Deep Well Project, Beaufort County First Steps and other local organizations.

The Junior Service League thanked its drop-off partners, businesses and volunteers who donated, collected, sorted and delivered diapers.
