Kelso Rotary recently organized a diaper drive in support of FISH of Cowlitz County, an organization dedicated to providing essential assistance to individuals and families in need. Diapers remain one of the most significant monthly expenses for new parents, averaging $80–$100 per month per child, and they are not covered by government assistance programs. For many local families, this cost can create a substantial financial strain.
FISH is one of the few local resources that helps supply diapers to families who need them most, and our club is proud to contribute to their efforts.
During the event, members also enjoyed a special moment as we surprised Club President Keenan Harvey and Jazmyne with a small baby shower. Their baby boy, Riot, is expected to arrive in December, and the club was delighted to celebrate this exciting milestone with them.
Kelso Rotary extends sincere appreciation to Gretchen Neimi for coordinating the pickup of donations, to Canterbury Park Independent Living for serving as a collection site, and to all who generously contributed. Thanks to our members and community partners, we continue to support local families in meeting one of life’s most essential needs.
