Community Edward Jones branch
office supports CAPCIL diaper donation campaign
[November 04, 2025]
Christine Short, an Edward
Jones financial advisor in Lincoln, is supporting Community Action
Partnership of Central Illinois by using her office as a drop-off
location for a diaper drive.
To help in this effort, our branch is collecting all brands and
sizes of diapers/wipes (larger sizes 4-6 are especially welcome).
Local residents may help make a positive impact in the community by
bringing items to our Edward Jones office during regular business
hours from November 3 to November 26, 2025. Monetary gifts,
including gift cards, cannot be accepted.
Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois is a local
non-profit organization dedicated to helping local communities.
The Early Head Start Center-based programs use thousands of diapers
each year. On average, an infant uses 10 diapers per day! According
to the Illinois Department of Human Services, "The USDA does not
currently have a waiver for states to allow customers to purchase
diapers with SNAP/WIG benefits.- "Unfortunately, this is a
significant burden on our families, and we do whatever we can to
help- such as a diaper drive. Therefore, our grant money can be used
to help our classrooms and families in other ways such as
educational materials, connecting with other resources, and training
for our staff to better serve our families" said Head Start Director
Kristen Conklen. For more information, visit their website at
www.capcil.info.
The branch address is: 515 Broadway Street, Lincoln, IL.
