Many hands make work light

“Many hands make work light”….I learned this mantra as part of my son’s Cub Scouts experience but seems to hold very true for how the team that supports the Diaper Pantry (the little sister of the Food Pantry).

Each Sunday, our doors at the Diaper Pantry at the Chula Vista campus open for one hour and typically serve families with a combined total of 60-80 children.  In addition to diapers, families are provided with diaper wipes, menstrual hygiene products for females in the household, and often, bread that has been donated by a local bakery.
​

What does it take to make this happen?  Here’s a look behind the scenes at all the hands that help to make this happen:

Great post, Mindy. Doing it as a table makes it really clear how many moving parts there are in the diaper operation, & how many hands it takes. Thank you.
