LYNDEN — A year ago, the Prepares group of St. Joseph Catholic Church gave out hundreds of diapers through its diaper drive-thru giveaway.
From 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Thursday, March 17, anyone who needs diapers can pick up a free package for each child in their household.
Diapers can be picked up at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 12th and Grover streets in the church’s west parking lot.
Diapers of size newborn to 6 as well as some pull-ups will be available for pickup.
Prepares offers year-round help without charge to pregnant women and families of children from birth to age 5.
According to Pam Ames of the Prepares group, anyone who cannot be present can call her at 360-592-5052 and she’ll make sure to get those families the diapers they need.
“We have lots, plenty for everybody,” Ames said. “We’ve helped hundreds of families.”
Ames explained that the Prepares group has been actively helping families in the Meridian, Lynden, Nooksack and Mt. Baker School Districts since 2017. The group, she said, is able to give out free diapers each year because of the generosity of the public.
“People give me the money and I buy the diapers,” Ames said.
Wardrobe packages (slightly used) and pajamas (new) are also available at no cost, Ames said.
Ames also said that the group plans to hold additional diaper drive-thru giveaways near Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
For more information or requests for other items needed besides diapers, or to donate, call Pam Ames at 360-592-5052.
