million diapers to those in need as part of its Project Hug
initiative.
"Diapers are a basic necessity for every baby and toddler," said
Anjula Shokar, senior brand manager
for the U.S. Huggies® brand. "National Diaper Bank Network is
helping to change the lives of families, and through this
partnership with Walgreens we will educate and encourage people to
