Diaper Drive Scheduled for Sept. 15

Needy moms will get some help with providing diapers thanks to a donation drive scheduled for next week.

The group "Think, Shop Live Elk Grove" will hold a diaper drive from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 15, in front of the buybuy Baby at 7507 Laguna Blvd. 

The diapers will go to local nonprofit .
