The Boys Next Door

Marietta Players present: The Boys Next Door
Set in the Boston area, this touching play deals with four men with various mental disabilities who live in a group home. The play provides a humorous commentary on the men’s lives, taking a surprising turn as Barry’s father comes to visit, and Jack (their caretaker) accepts a new job.

Cobb Diaper Day

The Cobb Diaper Day Committee is sponsoring a diaper drive with the goal of collecting more than 100,000 diapers for low-income families. The diaper day event was founded by a concerned group of community leaders with the goal of raising awareness that, in tough economic times, securing the most basic needs—having diapers to care for infants and children– is a challenge that low-income families face on a regular basis.

“Raising a family today is difficult enough without the added burden of wondering where the necessities of life will come from,” said the late Cobb Diaper Day founder Barbara Hickey. “Often times it is the little things in our lives that make the biggest difference. Together, we can help hundreds of families in Cobb County by this single act.”  Barbara envisioned the community coming together to support local families in need and reminded us all that it is often the little things in our lives that make the biggest difference.

Typical problems that low income families face:

  • Food Stamps do not include hygiene products such as diapers.
  • Diapers are expensive – on average, the cost to purchase diapers is around $100/month.
  • Daycare centers require parents to provide their own diapers.

All sizes are needed and every donation helps. One package of diapers from your family or a truck load from your place of employment will make the difference in the life of a child. Cobb Diaper Day is asking the business community, concerned citizens and non-profit organizations to collect diapers from employees, members and friends throughout the months of September and October.

Organizations, companies and individuals are encouraged to participate in various
ways:

  • Make a donation at www.cobbdiaperday.com.
  • Purchase diapers on Amazon through the Cobb Diaper Day Wish-list.
  • Drop off donations on one of the community collection days at Cobb EMC Solar Flower Garden in Marietta on October 22, 2024 from 2 pm to 6 pm and October 24, 2024 from 2 pm to 6 pm.
  • Email DiaperDayCobb@gmail.com to schedule a pick-up.
  • Donate to the Barbara Hickey Children’s Fund for their committee to purchase diapers.

All donated diapers will be given to local charities to help ease some of the burden of the hundreds of families with infants and young children they serve.
