About Us

While Beth was volunteering with family and friends at the Clinton Food Pantry a woman asked her if she knew where she could get diapers for her adorable baby girl. In an effort to find an answer for her, she discovered that there was not a diaper bank that serviced the Shoreline area. In researching further, she also discovered that 1 in 3 babies have a diaper need and SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) cannot be used to purchase diapers or toiletries. So her family and 3 other families with diverse talents and compassionate hearts formed our founding board of Bare Necessities, Inc. a 501(c)3.

Bare Necessities Inc was founded in 2015.  We started with helping 5 families and over the years Bare Necessities has helped thousands of families. Bare Necessities has an all volunteer working board.
