Diapers N’ Things provides diapers, menstrual products, and infant items to over 350 families a month between two diaper distribution sites. Distribution alternates between PACE and The Center for Economic Development (CEDC) in the city’s north end, to ensure that the needs of families are being met in both parts of the city.
