Calgarians have come out in droves to help parents who have to choose between buying food for the family or diapers for their babies.
The Calgary Sun reports there has been an overwhelming show of support.
Nurses at the Shaganappi Community Health Centre had hoped to drum up three thousand diapers in December but as of Saturday, Calgarians had already responded with well over five thousand.
Local health care officials say thousands of Calgary families go without necessities because of the high cost of diapers.
