WestSide Baby is a non-profit organization that provides essential baby items to local families in need, by collecting and distributing clothing, toys, equipment - and especially diapers. Through partnerships with more than 100 established social service providers, WestSide Baby has distributed more than $5 million worth of baby gear since opening its doors in 2001.
· The center distributes almost 20,000 diapers each month to support babies in need
o Did you know that an adequate supply of diapers costs up to $100 a month and is not covered by WIC or SNAP?
· Car seats and cribs distributed provide immediate impact on child safety
· All of the basics that pass through their doors support healthier and happier children
· Now in its tenth year, they have distributed more than $5 million in "basic needs" items to King County families
· The center served 15,000 children in 2009, and is expected to grow further in 2010
· Every $1 raised allows the center to distribute $9 in essential items through diaper and basic needs programs
WestSide Baby, with Huggies Brand as a sponsor, is hosting their 9th Annual Benefit Tea on February 6. Community members and sponsors are invited to join the fundraiser, which is an opportunity to learn more about the program and how it serves the local community.
