Pooper Troopers and Table Rock Career Center Unite for Ozarks Diaper Drive

Reeds Spring, Missouri – September 9, 2025 – The Pooper Troopers are thrilled to announce a diaper drive in the Ozarks! This will be a collaborative effort to bring vital relief to families across the region. In a dynamic partnership with Table Rock Career Center’s SkillsUSA Chapter, this initiative aims to address a critical and often overlooked need for diaper assistance in our community. The diaper drive will begin on Saturday, September 27, 2025 and end on Sunday, October 12, 2025

The drive is more than just a collection of supplies; it's a testament to the power of community and a deep commitment to nurturing the next generation. All diapers and monetary contributions collected will directly benefit local organizations like Pregnancy Lifeline in Branson West, Missouri and Options Pregnancy Clinic in Branson, Missouri. This ensures every donation stays right here in the Ozarks, making a tangible difference for our neighbors. Last year over 12,000 diapers were collected and with the addition of five participating grocery stores the goal for the 2025 campaign is 25,000 diapers donated.

"Diaper needs are a silent crisis for many families," says Erwin Emge, CEO of the Pooper Troopers. "We are incredibly proud to partner with organizations like Table Rock Career Center’s SkillsUSA Chapter that are on the front lines, helping parents and babies every single day. This drive is our way of rallying the community to support one another and build a stronger, more resilient Ozarks.”

“The staff and student volunteers at Table Rock Career Center are thrilled to partner with the Pooper Troopers once again to put on this diaper drive,” says John Giebler, instructional support specialist and diaper drive coordinator at TRCC. “We do a great job of preparing our students for the jobs of tomorrow that support our community, but what is difficult to teach is philanthropy and helping others. This not only teaches the importance of being civic-minded to our students, it is also a true opportunity to make a difference.”
