"As essential and costly as they are, diapers and baby wipes cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits, and healthy canned foods help families prepare lunches when school is out. These are items the pantry has difficulty sourcing," Srini Namasivayam, President of Naperville Sunrise Rotary, said in a statement.
Namasivayam added, "Sunrise Rotary is dedicated to helping kids and families thrive in our community. This is a great opportunity to honor mothers this Mother’s Day by helping them take care of their children."
