Flag Raising Ceremony to Kick Off Diaper Need Awareness Week

The City of Tampa is launching a diaper donation drive in partnership with the Junior League of Tampa, starting with a flag-raising ceremony on September 23. The ceremony will be led by City Councilman Luis Viera and will take place at 10:00 am outside Old City Hall. This event marks the start of National Diaper Need Awareness Week, which runs from September 23 to 29. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the pressing issue of diaper need that affects many families in the local area. Diapers are a crucial necessity for infants and toddlers, yet many families struggle to afford them.

The donation drive will serve as an important resource for families who may be facing economic hardships. By involving the community in this effort, the city hopes to foster a sense of solidarity and support among residents. The initiative highlights the city’s dedication to addressing the needs of its most vulnerable populations.
