A Burnaby organization dedicated to helping women and children got a small boost this month, thanks to a donation from a "green" diaper company.

Seventh Generation donated more than 311,000 of their chlorinefree diapers to organizations around Canada as part of their Buy One Give One diaper donation program, in which the company matched purchases during the month of October one for one.

The Dixon Transition Society in Burnaby received 140 cases - in all, about 1,380 diapers - earlier this month as part of the program.

The society helps women and children survivors of domestic violence through a transition house, second-stage and third-stage housing programs, as well as support, counselling and outreach.
