If you’re looking for a way to help babies and their families, there’s an easy way being offered by the St. Clair County Health Department’s Maternal and Infant Health Program. The Diaper Drive is being offered to individuals as well as any interested organization that wants to make sure local families have what they need to nurture their babies.

Starting July 8th, the Health Department will begin taking donations of new packages of baby diapers in all sizes, baby wipes, rash creams, and baby hygiene items.

Who gets the items? All of the items will go to participants in the Maternal and Infant Health Program. The program is a benefit for Medicaid recipients and Medicaid-eligible pregnant women and babies up to 18 months old. The program helps babies meet growth and developmental milestones.

Donations can be taken to the St. Clair County Health Department on 28th Street in Port Huron during normal business hours. Pickup of donations can also be arranged.

Businesses and organizations are encouraged to help the cause. Monetary donations can be made at the St. Clair County Treasurer’s Paypal account.

Drop off donations at the St. Clair County Health Department, 3415 28th Street in Port Huron during regular business hours: Monday 10:00am – 6:30pm or Tuesday through Friday 8:00am – 4:30pm.  MIHP is also providing donation pick-ups by calling (810) 987-4903.  Monetary donations can also be made via St. Clair County Treasurer’s PayPal at: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sccmitreasurer.
