Mom’s Week of Hide & Seek Gift Drop and Diaper Drive Benefiting the JLB Diaper Bank May 5 ”“ 13!
For many years we have enjoyed dropping little gifts around town the week before Mother’s Day during “Mom’s Week of Hide & Seek.” This year, each time a gift is found and posted to social media with the hashtag #BrombergsLovesMoms and with Bromberg’s tagged in the post we will donate $100 to the Junior League of Birmingham Diaper Bank.
During this time we will also host a diaper drive at both locations. When you donate diapers to our diaper drive May 5-13 you will receive 10% off* a giftware purchase just in time for Mother’s Day. We hope you will join us in supporting this wonderful cause!
