GALESBURG Hy-Vee, Inc., in partnership with Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank and Hello Bello, is participating in the April Showers of Diapers Drive through the end of April. The Diaper Drive includes fundraising efforts at select Hy-Vee store locations where customers can donate at checkout by “rounding up” their purchase, which will provide diapers for families in need throughout West Central Illinois. “Diaper drives are vital to our operations and have become increasingly critical in supplying products to our clients,” said Lee Ann Porter, founder and executive director of Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank. “When caregivers stand in the diaper aisle they are quickly reminded of the compounding expense of diapers with each trip to the grocery store. Our goals in partnering with Hy-Vee and Hello Bello are to ease the financial burden of local families, raise community awareness of diaper need, and meet the already high demand for diapers throughout West Central Illinois
GALESBURG â In 2004, Loving Bottoms founder LeeAnn Porter was living in Kentucky. She says she was coming out of an abusive relationship, and was going through a divorce. As a single mom with three children â the youngest only 6 months old â she found herself under immense financial strain.

Porter said food was not a huge difficulty, and she was able to cook, but other things like laundry soap, dish soap and diapers were a problem. When she asked the people at the pantries about these things, they looked at her like they did not know why she needed them.
