Lance Benson, Founder & Executive Director

Lance Benson is the Founder and Executive Director of Dry Tikes & Wet Wipes, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing essential supplies to families in need. Inspired by his own upbringing in a large family that faced similar financial struggles, Lance started the Thurston County Diaper bank in a small closet in the office of his property management company in 2014. He recognized that many of his tenants were caught in difficult choices between paying rent, buying groceries, and affording basic necessities like diapers and hygiene products. As a devoted father of 3 daughters, Lance deeply empathizes with families experiencing challenging seasons of life. His work is fueled by a passion to be a beacon of hope, ensuring families receive the support they need to thrive all throughout Thurston, Pierce, Mason & Lewis Counties.
