While diaper cakes such as the one to the left may be the rage at high end baby showers these days, there are many women right here in the affluent Bay Area who can barely afford diapers for their children. When long time Cubes&Crayons member Elly Phillips asked if we could do a diaper drive, we were eager to support the idea and hope both members of the Cubes&Crayons community and our local community will join us in helping low-income and homeless women and children in providing diapers and other basic hygiene products.
