Welcome to Dry Tikes and Wet Wipes – a beacon of hope for families in need across Thurston and surrounding counties. Founded in 2014 by Lance Benson, our grassroots mission has always been straightforward: to ensure that no family has to face the difficult choice between diapers and basic necessities like food or gas. From our modest beginnings in a small office closet, we've grown to provide essential diaper relief to thousands, with over 64,000 diapers donated in 2019 alone.

Our commitment extends beyond mere numbers; it's about the real impact we make in the lives of families every day. By providing emergency access to diapers and wipes, we not only address a critical need but also instill a sense of dignity and hope among those we serve. The journey from a single request for help to becoming a trusted community resource exemplifies what we can achieve together.

You can make a difference. Whether by donating diapers, contributing funds, or volunteering your time, your support fuels our ability to continue this vital work. Join us in our ongoing mission to ensure every child in our community has the essentials they need to thrive. Together, let's create a future where the choice between diapers and basic essentials is a dilemma no family has to face.


A special thanks to our major partners!
