New Diapers Wanted


A collection of new diapers is underway in International Falls.

The United Way of Northeastern Minnesota is teaming up with a number of businesses and groups to collect diapers for needy families in Koochiching County.

Spokesperson Elizabeth Johnson says it's a first  for the community.

Depots have been set up at Border State Bank, Bremer Bank, City Drug, Kmart, Koochiching County Health Department, KSDM/KGHS Radio, Stewart's Super One, SUPERVALU, TruStar and Wells Fargo.

UnitedHealthcare and Boise will also be conducting internal drives with their employees.

The diapers will be distributed by the Salvation Army and Falls Hunger Coalition when the drive is over August 13.
