In recognition of starting this beautiful baby bottom trend, Caroline McCarty Kunitz will be honored by Catholic Charities San Gabriel Region at its Annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner on May 9,2011 at the Quiet Cannon Montebello 901 North Via San Clemente, Montebello, California 90640 6:00 pm
Proud to partner with the Every Little Bottom Program, Caroline believes that one of the most important things to come out of the diaper campaign is overall awareness of diaper need. “You can borrow a crib or stroller,” says Caroline, “but you can’t borrow diapers.” “Receiving diapers can mean a family can pay rent and buy food. It can prevent stress and improve a baby’s health. The result is far bigger than just giving diapers.”
The San Gabriel Region's area extends from East Los Angeles to the the San Bernardino county line and provides programs which serve a variety of programs focusing on vulnerable individuals and families through direct assistance, counseling and educational programs.
