Eastside Baby Corner Diaper Derby
Eastside Baby Corner will be hosting a month-long diaper collection "horse" race known as the Diaper Derby, from May 4 to June 8.
Local businesses and organizations will compete to see who can collect the most diapers for EBC.
The Diaper Derby is a fun and important race among local businesses and organizations to collect diapers for children living in poverty or crisis.

Without childcare, parents cannot go to work.
