Diapers Drive

I would like to thank all Skagit County communities for making the 2nd Annual Mother’s Day Diaper Drive a success. Donations of diapers were generous and dollars far exceeded those of last year.

In January, the Diaper Bank reached a goal of delivering 1,000 diapers a week to WIC at Community Action of Skagit County. The Mother’s Day Drive will help us double that number, reaching more mother-baby pairs and giving more diapers. We are anxious to grow and extend services to other deserving agencies.

Mother’s Day is a noteworthy time to hold a diaper drive as literature tells us “a lack of diapers affects not only the health and comfort of the child, but also the health and comfort of the mother.” Mothers report that keeping their child in a clean diaper is one of the most important thing they can do for their baby.

Our fundraising will continue as the need continues. Your donations to the Diaper Bank help by giving families with limited resources a way to help care for their babies most basic needs.
