Families across our community are struggling to afford basic necessities, and the need for diapers continues to grow. At FESS, we are seeing more parents and caregivers turn to us for help keeping their babies healthy and cared for.

You can help by donating unopened packages of diapers in any size, especially sizes 4–6 and pull-ups. Donations can also include wipes or financial gifts that allow us to purchase diapers in bulk for local families in need. Every donation makes a direct impact for children and parents in our community.

Donations can be dropped off at our Thurston County office, Monday-Friday.
6840 Capitol Blvd, Building 3
