Captain Parker invites public to join Oxford diaper drive

Captain Parker posted on Facebook that he and Oxford Fire are collecting diaper donations at Kroger in Oxford through noon as part of the Oxford First Responder Diaper Drive to benefit the North Mississippi Exchange Family Center.

The drive aims to gather diapers for families served by the North Mississippi Exchange Family Center, a local organization that provides material assistance and support to households in the region. Oxford Fire is participating as part of routine community outreach that first responders often conduct to support residents.

Kroger is a national grocery chain; organizers encouraged residents who are running errands Saturday morning to stop by the store and drop off donations. The post emphasized that volunteers will be accepting diaper donations until noon.

Community diaper drives address a common and ongoing need for basic infant supplies that can strain family budgets. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
