May 15th, 2025 by Ric Hanson
(Griswold, Iowa) – A Sophomore at the Griswold High School is organizing an effort in support of the June 8th Community Baby Shower, in Atlantic. Hayden Jones is spearheading the effort to add diapers and baby wipes for expectant and new moms, in advance of the event that will be held at the Cass County Community Center and Island Community Church, in Atlantic. Jones spoke about the event, and his role to try and help make it a success.
The Community Baby Shower, as previously mentioned, will be held at the Cass County Community Center, from 1:30-until 3:30-p.m., and at the Island Community Church in Atlantic, from 4:30-to 6-p.m., June 8th. Hayden said he’s pig-tailing off the event with the diaper and baby wipe drive, because he knows families are struggling, and don’t show-up for their doctor’s appointments before their child is born.
His project “NO if’s; Just Butts,” is in an attempt to solicit donations from businesses and individuals, so diapers and baby wipe products and/or donations of funds to purchase those products for the Community Baby Shower. The deadline to donate the products or funds to purchase them, is June 4th.
Drop-off locations for new diapers and baby wipes include:
- The Griswold Tiger Mart
- The Cumberland Methodist Church
- Griswold Community School District
- Coffee Girl in Atlantic, and Cass Health in Atlantic.
As he mentioned, there are Amazon.Com and Venmo QR Codes. You can find the flyer with those codes pinned to the KJANRadio Facebook page. Businesses interested in donating can call Hayden Jones at (864)-580-1128. The wipes will be distributed at the Community Baby Shower, which is intended for any woman who is pregnant, planning for the future, or who have an infant who is less than six months old.
