Celebrate Babies 2016 is the theme in Gogebic and Ontonagon counties in an effort to help “to make lives better for the new generation,” according to Donna Wilber, of the Upper Peninsula Association for Infant Mental Health.

Wilber said a diaper and baby food drive in both counties is also collecting formula and baby wipes. The association partners with the Western U.P. Health Department.

Wilber said the donations will be turned over to the St. Vincent DePaul organizations in each county.

The food, diapers, formula and wipes can be dropped off at the health departments in Ontonagon and Bessemer from now until Oct. 21.

Ontonagon’s health department is located at 408 Copper Street, while Gogebic County’s is at 210 N. Moore Street in Bessemer.
