Shop 4% Friday on December 23rd to Support Help Me Grow - Skagit Family Center
Since October 2020, The Children’s Museum of Skagit County has housed and run Help Me Grow – Skagit Family Resource Center. Help Me Grow aims to offer families seamless access to community services and support so they can easily connect to what they need, when they need it.
Help Me Grow purchases and distributes supplies that are not being regularly distributed elsewhere to families, including basic need items along with educational activity kits and books for families with children pre-birth to 8 years of age.
Help Me Grow has also provided gar vouchers to several families that have infants in the NICU at Seattle Children’s Hospital or to get to necessary appointments in Skagit County.
