The Heartwarming Journey of Dry Tikes &Wet Wipes: Uplifting Families One Diaper at a Time

What started as a humble diaper closet next to my office has blossomed into Dry Tikes & Wet Wipes, steadfastly providing essential diaper assistance across communities despite challenges like weather and the pandemic. Each month, as we near its end, our diaper supplies dwindle, necessitating the continuous hosting of drives. Your support through diaper drives or donations ensures we can meet the ongoing needs of parents relying on us during these tough times.

Welcome to Dry Tikes & Wet Wipes, dedicated to ensuring every child in our community has access to essential diapering supplies, free of charge.
