As you may know GGB is located on the Gulf Coast, we are between Pensacola and Destin. We have been seeing oil wash up onto our beautiful white sand and emerald shores everyday,and everyday it seems to get worse. It is so sad what is happening to our beaches, I believe this will even get larger and spread to other parts of Florida’s coastline. I know the Cloth Diaper Community islarge and I wanted to keep you posted on how you can help with the oil clean up!

It is called “Cloth for the Coast” started by the creator and manufacturer of FuzziBunz, Tereson Dupuy. She is located in New Orleans and reaching out to all the families in the cloth diaper community to help! About two weeks ago she made the connection that microfiber inserts could aid in wildlife clean up, how exciting is this? Cloth for the Coast is accepting donations of old cloth diapers (prefolds or contours w/o snaps) and any type of diaper inserts – as well as baby blankets, receiving blankets, burp cloths and other cloth items that could be used to clean up our increasingly damaged wildlife.

I also would like to ask for local North West Florida families to bring their donations by our office, 2709 Gulf Breeze Pkwy Gulf Breeze, FL on July 10 from 10-2. I will also set up a “donation station” so you can drop them off in case we are not there, local donations can help our local relief efforts like Destin Wildlife Refuge.

Please “like” them on Face Book to keep up with their relief efforts!

If you are not local, please send donations to:

FuzziBunz Diapers

Attn: CFC

315 Weeks St

New Iberia, LA 70560

So if you have wondering how you can help, the time is NOW!!!!!! We CAN make a difference!
