Meet the Team

Teresa Baur

-Executive Director-

Teresa is a loving mother to her two children Jonah and Leah. She is involved in her church and enjoys being with her family as well as traveling and going on adventures. Teresa has always had a passion for the health and welfare for the children in her community. Teresa began buying diapers for families in the community whom she found asking for help on social media. She wanted to help reach even more families on a larger scale. She did some research and found the Nation Diaper Bank Network, who has helped thousands of families in their struggle with diaper needs. Teresa Co-founded Lane County Diaper Bank with Dina Harper in Late June of 2019 through a mutual respect that Lane County is suffering greatly with diaper need. Teresa is very excited and determined to help end diaper need in our community.

Our Board of Directors

Melody Pittman

-President-

I was born and raised on the Oregon Coast and moved to Lane County in 2014. Since my childhood was deeply affected by poverty, when I heard about the Lane County Diaper Bank I immediately knew I wanted to start dedicating my spare time to the diaper bank. I have been working with the Lane County Diaper Bank since July of 2023, organizing diaper drives, tracking donations and distributions while handing out diapers to the struggling families of Lane County who come into the office for assistance. My passion is to help our communities’ most vulnerable demographic, and here at the Lane County Diaper Bank, we make that our mission everyday!

Dennis Morgan

Dennis has always had a passion for giving back. He is the type of person who offers help when he is able. From volunteering to prepare low income families tax returns to helping people with moving and home improvement projects. When he heard about Lane County Diaper Bank he jumped at the opportunity to serve. He comes to us with both his bachelors and masters degrees in accounting. With a variety of experience from tax to not for profit. He makes a great addition to the team as he will bring enthusiasm and financial experience.

As a mother, Christine understands firsthand the financial challenges families face, particularly when it comes to the high cost of diapers.

Jessica LaFarga

Board Member- 2026

Jessica La Farga is a single mother, active church member, and dedicated community volunteer based in Eugene. Her personal and professional life is rooted in supporting families and creating stability through times of transition. Professionally, she is a real estate agent that specializes in supporting people through complex transitions. Personally, she is a girl and cat mom that loves singing in the car with her kid and dancing in the kitchen while cooking. On the weekends, you’ll find her working (most likely) or spending time with the people she loves the most, probably sitting on a porch, talking with tea.
Jessica is proud to serve on the Board of Directors for the Lane County Diaper Bank, where she is committed to expanding access for families. She believes that when basic needs like these are met, families are better positioned to feel safe and move forward into the highest level of health. Her hope is that this work will ripple out to create a world with more resources for children generations from now.
Our board plays a vital role in helping us grow, advocate, and ensure families across Lane County have access to the diapers they need. We’re grateful to have such dedicated leaders stepping up to support this work.
