EDWARDSVILLE – COUNTRY Financial Representative Carol Stolze is proud to support the “Soup-N-Share” community program with a donation of $3,000. The funds will be used to support the organization’s “No Child Wet Behind” diaper bank program. “The need for infants and toddlers to stay dry is extremely important,” says Stolze. “Otherwise, children may suffer from diseases of all kinds. Given the rising cost of essentials like food and supplies, purchasing diapers is another hardship facing many families and agencies in our area.” Stolze has been named the program’s 2024 Ambassador. Her donation of $3,000 will allow the non-profit organization to purchase and stock the diaper bank with 90,000 diapers throughout 2024. "A baby is a blessing from God who has entrusted us to take special care of their needs. Diapers are not just a basic need they are essential,” says Sherrie M. Hare, Executive Director, Soup-n-Share.
