Why Not Do Some Shopping While Helping Hurricane Harvey Victims At The Same Time….Local shopping destinations collect diapers for Austin Diaper Bank, among other donation drives…

In partnership with the Austin Diaper Bank, Barton Creek Square, The Domain, Lakeline Mall and San Marcos Premium Outlets are collecting diapers (infant and adult), wipes and diaper cream.
