Kimberly-Clark is one of our biggest supporters. Each year they give us diapers, wipes, and other supplies for the foster home. Can you guess how many diapers we use in a day!? Start imagining that number, and you'll quickly realize just how helpful and important their support is to NDFH. This year, they had a ceremony at their offices. We took many of the children for a fun morning picnic.
