DuTrac Community Credit Union Hosts 2nd Annual Diaper Drive to Support Families in Need DuTrac Community Credit Union is proud to announce its 2nd Annual Diaper Drive, dedicated to addressing diaper insecurity among families in need. Running throughout May, the drive aims to collect 7,500 diapers across all DuTrac branch locations to support families through distribution partnerships with United Way Dubuque Area Tri-States and Hiney Helpers of the Quad Cities. “We are excited to partner again with DuTrac for their annual Diaper Drive. These resources are incredibly valuable to our local communities. This will help many young families with already tight budgets meet their basic needs. Thank you to DuTrac for recognizing and stepping up to fill a gap within our community.” said Danielle Leibfried, President/CEO of United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States. Last year’s inaugural drive resulted in the collection of more than 3,700 diapers, making a meaningful impact on local families. With increased awareness and participation, DuTrac is setting an even higher goal for 2025. “We know that many hardworking families in our communities struggle to afford basic necessities, and no parent should have to choose between buying diapers and other essentials,” said Andy Hawkinson, DuTrac President and CEO. “Through the generosity of our members and the power of community partnerships, we can help ease this burden and make a real difference in the lives of local families.” Members of the public are encouraged to donate diapers of any size or making a monetary donation at any DuTrac branch, including in Platteville, WI, where donations can be dropped off at the DuTrac Mobile Branch (151 Millennium Drive) on Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM, or inside Millennium Cinema on alternate days. All donations will stay local, with contributions made at each DuTrac branch distributed to partner organizations serving that specific community."
