MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- U.S. Cellular will drop off all the diapers collected at their stores as part of the CBS 58 Mother's Day Diaper Drive. 

You'll remember the event was to benefit the Milwaukee Diaper Mission. 

According to the Milwaukee Diaper Mission, more than 7,000 diapers, 59 packs of wipes, and 24 pads were collected, and nearly $3,000 raised. 

"There were families in my neighborhood that were struggling to afford these items," said Megan Johnson, founder of Milwaukee Diaper Mission. "It was kind of a lightbulb moment for me and motivated me to get this organization off the ground."
