Support for Welcome Baby comes from service clubs in this county.

The Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club is part of Kiwanis International: a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.

We are very forturnate in our county to have a number of very active Kiwanis Clubs that support our Welcome Baby program by buying books and helping with the newsletter postage.

The Burlington Morning Rotary Club helped Welcome Baby secure the grant for the 10 library book carts.

Everytime you support the activities of a Kiwanis or Rotary Club, you are helping the children of Skagit County.
