The star forward for the Milwaukee Bucks and his family are accustomed to giving back and paying for diapers. The three-time MVP became a father in September after welcoming a baby girl.

“I’m just glad that I can give back to the community that has done so much for us and that our family can give back here,” Riddlesprigger said.

Milwaukee Diaper Mission has benefited greatly from the contributions of Antetokounmpo and Riddlesprigger.

“I hope more people realize how important it is to have that giving heart,” Riddlesprigger remarked.

Milwaukee Diaper Mission reported that since its founding in 2020, it has given more than 1.3 million diapers to underprivileged Milwaukee families.

“Every week, there is an increasing need. Our knowledge is that one in two American families finds it difficult to pay for diapers,” said Meagan Johnson, the creator of the charity.

According to the National Diaper Bank network, newborns need up to 12 diapers per day, which adds up to $70 to $80 per baby every month. Girl Scouts spent their Saturday to soliciting contributions outside of a Bay View Pick ‘n Save.

“This will greatly assist individuals, therefore they ought to come and do it. It also lifts your spirits,” Marian, a Girl Scout, remarked.

In the direction of its $50,000 goal, Milwaukee Diaper Mission has raised more than $10,000. In the event that anyone was unable to attend on Saturday, there is still a diaper and wipe drive on Sunday from 4:30 until the end of the first quarter outside Fiserv Forum, prior to the Bucks’ game against the Atlanta Hawks. Financial contributions made online are also welcomed.
