St. Mary Magdalene Council #16223 conducted a drive for baby items at their parish. It was very successful.

In addition to many boxes of diapers and wipes a ton of clothes were donated. There also over $600 in cash donated to contribute to HELP Pregnancy Aid in Grand Rapids.

Shown on the right are some of the items collected.
A group from the council and parish presented the items to HELP and then were able to tour the facility with the Executive Director Paula Veneklase.
