Persuasive Letter—Utah County Baby Care Cupboard
The Utah County Baby Care Cupboard (UCBCC) is an organization that gathers baby supplies for local food banks. The organization was started in 2007 by Amanda Freeman, a former UVU student, to help meet the need for baby food, diapers, and other baby supplies for the homeless and others who draw from the food banks.
When food-bank drives are conducted, people generously donate items such as canned beans and boxed cereal but don’t often don’t think about baby supplies, leaving the banks often unable to help families with food, diapers, and other things for their babies. To meet this need, the UCBCC conducts a drive the second Saturday of each May and September to gather baby supplies. Typically, these drives are held in large supermarkets that have given permission to UCBCC to set up a table near the front of the store and as customers come in, invite them to purchase a baby item or two while they are shopping to donate to the food bank or to contribute money. As the customers leave, they drop off the purchased items at the donation table. …show more content…
This organization serves families living in Utah, Wasatch, and Summit counties—so the donations go right back into the community.
Any baby item can be used, from baby food to baby wipes, but diapers and formula are especially needed. Any money donated in the drives is used in the store where the drive is held to purchase baby supplies for the food bank. In previous years, UCBCC has collected approximately $1,600 worth of baby supplies at each participating location. This year’s goal is to raise $2,000 at each location.
