The first Tuesday of each month, Healthy Start heads out to Booker Park in Indiantown to distribute diapers. Although this is normally our busiest location throughout the month, we have reached a new level of "busy". In just 3 hours, we distributed diapers to 83 families, which provided diapers to 101 children, and totaled 3,256 individual diapers.
