Diaper Pantry: Support for Families in Need

The diaper pantry is a vital resource for families who need assistance with baby supplies. On Wednesday, February 4 and 18, from 10 to 11 a.m., the pantry will be open to distribute diapers to those who need them. Diapers can be expensive and hard to afford for many families, so this pantry helps ease that burden.

If you are a parent or caregiver, this is a great chance to stock up on diapers for your little ones. The pantry is easy to access and staffed by caring volunteers who understand the challenges families face.

Key details:

• Dates: February 4 and 18

• Time: 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

• Location: Chapel Hill United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall

• Who can attend: Families in need of diapers

  
  

This program helps ensure that babies stay clean and comfortable, which is essential for their health and well-being.

Young and Young at Heart Book Club for Parents

Parents looking for a supportive and engaging community will enjoy the Young and Young at Heart book club. This group meets to receive and discuss children’s books, providing a chance to connect with other parents and share ideas about reading with children.

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 6, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Nursery care is available during the event, so parents can focus on the discussion without worrying about childcare.

This book club is a wonderful way to:

• Discover new children’s books

• Learn tips for reading with kids

• Build friendships with other parents

• Encourage a love of reading in your family

  
  

The group welcomes parents of all ages and backgrounds, creating a warm and inclusive environment.

Blanket Donations for the Homeless

The Methodist Health Ministries Wesley Nurse is currently collecting new or gently used blankets to distribute to people experiencing homelessness. Blankets of any size are welcome, but please ensure they are clean before donating.

Blankets provide warmth and comfort during cold weather, which can be life-saving for those without stable housing. Your donation can make a real difference in someone’s day-to-day life.

How to donate:

• Drop off clean blankets at the Chapel Hill United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall

• Any size blankets are accepted

• Donations will be distributed directly to homeless individuals in the community

  
  

This is a simple way to give back and help those who need it most.

Food Pantry Needs: Essential Items Requested

The food pantry is another critical service offered by the Methodist Health Ministries Wesley Nurse. To keep the pantry stocked and ready to serve families, they are asking for donations of specific items:

• Rice

• Beans

• Baby formula

• Tomato sauce

• Peanut butter

  
  

These staples help provide nutritious meals for families facing food insecurity. Donating any of these items supports the pantry’s mission to fight hunger in the community.

If you want to contribute, you can bring these items to the pantry during regular hours or contact the team for more information.
