Bronko, CT Partnership For Children To Host Diaper Drive In Naugatuck

NAUGATUCK, CT — State Rep. Seth Bronko is partnering with the Connecticut Partnership for Children and several Naugatuck businesses to help those in need through the organization of a diaper drive for local families.

According to a news release provided the House Republican Office, parents need assistance throughout the year and Bronko, a father of two including a newborn girl, is hoping all residents who can participate will lend a hand during the donation drive.

The drive began Tuesday and continues through Aug. 22.

"As a father of two, including a newborn, I know how much diapers can cost new parents, especially with rising prices that bite into a family's budget," Bronko said in a news release. "It's incredibly important to me that families have a resource to lean on during difficult times and this was a way we could help. Also, I wanted to give a huge thank you to all our local businesses for providing space for our donation drop boxes. It just shows the community spirit that makes me proud to represent Naugatuck."

Four drop-off locations in Naugatuck are available for all donations:

• CT Partnership for Children Inc. (98 Olive St.)
• Fulling Mills Deli (218 Prospect St.)
• Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe (87 Maple St.)
• DeRocco's Wiches Bagels and Brews (157 Quinn St.)

Needed items include new diapers and pull ups of all sizes, as well as diaper wipes. Every donated item will go toward helping a Naugatuck family in need.

Bronko can be contacted by phone at (800) 842-1423 or by email at Seth.Bronko@housegop.ct.gov with any questions or concerns.
