You've made a big difference in the past - and we'll need you again, this Saturday

Not being able to provide clean diapers is an under-recognized consequence of poverty that experts say can result in unhealthy babies, family stress, and maternal depression. When a family lacks a supply of disposable diapers, they often cannot send their child to daycare and are unable to work to earn money to support their family.
Local Charities that connect with families benefit from your generous donations
This event makes a significant difference in our community, as the local diaper banks rely on this annual event to replenish their supplies. Diapers, wipes, and formula will be donated to local diaper banks, including Serve Wenatchee Valley, Women’s Resource Center, St. Joseph’s Food Bank, SAGE, CASA, Akin, Chelan-Douglas Health District, and Chelan-Douglas Community Action Food Bank, for distribution to families in need throughout the community.
