Rising costs are hitting working families hard. In Marathon County, 1 in 3 people are in the ALICE population — working but struggling to afford basics like diapers, which cost $80-$100/month per child.

Single moms make up 60% of this group, and recent tariffs drove diaper prices up 12% in just one month.

You can help. Our Diaper Drive is happening now with 3 ways to donate: 🔹 Online: wsaw.com/diaperDrive 🔹 38 drop-off locations (list on our website) 🔹 Drive-thru events May 27 at Neighbors' Place (Wausau) & Paper City Savings Bank (Plover)
