“Junior Auxiliary of Houma is always looking for ways we can help ease the challenges of financial strain in our community. One way to do that is to diaper the infants and toddlers in our community,” said Gypsy Pitre, JA Helping Hands Chair. “We want to ensure that families in need have an adequate amount to care for their little ones. We invite you to spread kindness and share in our mission of collecting more diapers this year than in previous years.”
