Los Angeles City Council President Emeritus Herb J. Wesson Jr. and Good Plus Foundation hosted a diaper grab-and-go for last Saturday morning at his district office in West Adams. Diapers were given to families in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. Priority was given to families in the 10th Council District but no families were excluded and cars were lined up down the block and around the corner before the event even started.
So many people live on the margins,” Wesson said. “Hell, I’ve lived on the margins so anything you can get to help those going through a crisis is important.”
Families were asked to preregister for the diaper giveaway online.
As soon as it was posted, there was so much of a response that within hours, every diaper was spoken for.
“I think it’s important people know we give a damn about them and that we’ll go above and beyond,” Wesson said.
Founded in 2001 by Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Good Plus Foundation is a leading national nonprofit that works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods with innovative services for low-income fathers, mothers and caregivers, creating an upward
trajectory for the whole family. Dr. Alan-Michael Graves serves as their Director of National Programs and is based in the Los Angeles office.
