The Diaper Bank of Skagit County was founded to provide diapers to families in need.
Now, after a half-decade of work and hundreds of thousand of diapers given out, its founders have secured what they hope will be a stable future, transitioning operations to the United Way of Skagit County.
“We didn’t want to get this going and have it fall apart at the end. It feels good the United Way saw value in what we were doing and what the diaper bank was doing,” said Dean Scott, the organization’s executive director.
Dean and Calista Scott founded the organization in 2017 with help from organizations including Community Action, the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemental Program, and the National Diaper Bank Network. Calista, a former maternity nurse, had seen the needs facing families with young children and wanted to do something to help.
