Early Learning Coalition to host diaper drive 

The Early Learning Coalition of Alachua County (ELCAC) is hosting a diaper drive through May 24.   

The ELCAC noticed a great need for diapers in the Gainesville community. The ELCAC is accepting diapers and wipes as donations.  

“Your generous contribution of diapers will help alleviate a portion of the cost of raising a young child and I’m quite confident that our families will greatly value your donation,” Jacki Hodges, CEO of the ELCAC, stated in a press release.  

There are three drop-off locations in Gainesville. Donations can also be made online through Amazon.  

Drop-off locations:  

• Starbucks (1614 NW 13th St.) 
• Gainesville Health and Fitness Women’s Center (2441 NW 43rd St.) 

• Greater Gainesville Chamber (300 East University Avenue, Unit 100) 

The ELCAC was created to provide financial assistance for childcare and school readiness for children from birth until kindergarten.
