2nd Diaper Drive Slated In Manchester

MANCHESTER, CT — A diaper pantry created by a Manchester High School student has scheduled another drive for this week.

Gentle Love Diaper Pantry's upcoming drive is on tap for Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. at Manchester High School’s Summit Street Parking Lot. A second drive was scheduled based on the success of the debut collection event in June.

Kyle Zingler, a sophomore at MHS, created the Gentle Love Diaper Pantry to fill a gap left by government assistance programs and those who have lost income because of coronavirus closures.

The pantry staged its first contactless diaper drive on June 11.

Members of the community can place the diapers in the trunks of their vehicles and volunteers will safely remove them upon arrival.

All the diapers collected will go to ECHN’s Family Development Center.
