By Northwest Community Action Partnership
Northwest Community Action Partnership, NCAP, is hosting the second annual Stuff the Bus Food and Diaper Drive to benefit our Food Pantries and Diaper Banks from May 10th to May 17th in Chadron and Alliance. NCAP works to fight poverty in a five county region (Box Butte, Cherry, Dawes, Sheridan and Sioux) through programs such as Head Start, Early Head Start, Community Services, Volunteer Services, Weatherization and the Diaper Bank. NCAP’s Community Services program operates the Extra Helpings Food Pantries in Chadron, Alliance, Rushville and Valentine and NCAP’s Diaper Bank program serves Box Butte, Cherry, Dawes, Sheridan and Sioux Counties. Hundreds of families receive food and diaper distributions through our agency each and every month. Food security and access to clean, dry diapers are critical elements to the safety and well-being of the children and families we serve.
Buses will be parked at two locations from May 10th to May 17th. In Chadron, our bus will be parked at NCAP’s Central Office located at 270 Pine Street and in Alliance you will see our bus parked at the Head Start Campus located at 1028 E. 3rd Street. Please be extra mindful of speed and direction of travel through the Head Start parking lot in Alliance during school hours when children are present. The buses will be open and available for donation drop offs from 8am to 6pm daily from May 10th to May 17th. Our current wish list includes Pull Ups (any size/gender), Diapers in sizes 4, 5, 6, & 7, Breakfast items (such as coffee, juice, cereal, and pancake mix), flour, sugar, vegetable oil, soup, canned fruit, mashed potato flakes, hamburger helper and gravy packets.
Join us in the fight against poverty and help us Stuff the Bus!
