Welcome to Community Connection on Together Tuesdays, a day each month where we highlight organizations we're proud to partner with in a variety of ways. Today's highlight is: Nestlings | Diaper Bank of West Michigan

BTB keeps a diaper collection box for Nestlings in our entrance. Why? Because we know that 1 in 2 caregivers needs diapers, and Nestlings is making a difference in that space. Nestlings partners with more than 35 local agencies to ensure that area families don’t have to choose between food and diapers. They purchase, store, and distribute diapers so those partners can provide them at no charge to those who need them most.

Look them up, and consider bringing a box of diapers to our office the next time you're in the area or have a meeting at our firm!
