Royal Credit Union Hosts Diaper Drive to Support Growing Community Need

May 1, 2026

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – Royal Credit Union (Royal) is teaming up with three local non-profits, Feed My People Food Bank, St. Croix Valley Food Bank, and Diaper Bank of Minnesota, to host its second annual Diaper Drive.

Between May 1 and May 31, both unopened and opened packages of disposable diapers and wipes can be donated at any Royal office. Monetary donations will also be accepted at any office or online at rcu.org/DiaperDrive to assist the non-profit partners in purchasing additional supplies to support those in need.

“Diapers are a basic necessity, but nearly 50% of families struggle to afford enough for their children, and the cost is not covered by assistance programs like WIC,” says Heidi Cornelius, Community Relations Coordinator at Royal Credit Union. “After the strong support we saw from the community last year, we are proud to bring this drive back and continue working with our partners to help fill that gap for families and ensure they have access to these essential items.”

At the conclusion of the drive, the non-profit partners will distribute the collected diapers and wipes to families in need within the local communities where the donations were made. Those donating diapers are encouraged to consider sizes 4, 5, 6, and 7, as these sizes are in particularly high demand and often receive the fewest donations. Additional information can be found at https://www.rcu.org/DiaperDrive.
