For News 19’s Drive Day, our teams will be at the following locations until 7 p.m.:

  • Food City in Owens Cross Roads
  • Food City on Memorial Parkway

We will also be at Toyota Field for the Trash Pandas’ game to accept donations at the gate. If you bring/make a donation, you will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize: 10 lucky raffle winners will each win an autographed baseball!

For those who do not know, the Food Bank of North Alabama’s Diaper Bank distributes its collection of diapers and wipes through agencies across 11 counties that the Food Bank serves.

The Food Bank is accepting financial donations, and local Food City stores are also housing several donation bins to take diaper donations starting July 14. You can also donate by texting ‘Diaper’ to 256-746-6112.

The boxes or bags of diapers do not even have to be unopened. The Food Bank accepts open packages of diapers as well, so parents whose children have recently grown out of a size can take those leftovers to the Food Bank.
