The Milwaukee Diaper Mission announced this week that they are once again partners with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger for The BIG Give Back, a diaper and fund drive that will help power Milwaukee Diaper Mission.
Over the next two weeks, they’ll be working to reach their highest fundraising goal to date: $50,000. With that funding, they’ll expand programming to bring basic needs items to every corner of Milwaukee.
One is three American families struggle to afford diapers. This has impacts beyond the nursery – diaper need blocks access to early childhood education, and causes many parents to miss work. Milwaukee Diaper Mission was founded to address diaper need with care and compassion.
If they raise $50,000 by November 1, their sponsors Nuna, The Honest Company, and The Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation will match the total, ensuring that our new programming is serving Milwaukee for years to come.
