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.
