WINFIELD TWP — Kelly Hanson still remembers when she was a new mother and ran out diapers one morning. She still recalls the anxiety that set in when she realized she was down to her last diaper after her husband went to work.

“There was just such a panic in me,” Hanson said. “Even though I could just drive to the store really quick and come back and my husband would have been fine to stay with baby for another minute. It wasn’t an absolute emergency but it was a moment of panic.”

Hanson, the Children’s Ministry director and lead volunteer for Matrona Family Resource Center at Cabot United Methodist Church, said she imagined being in a situation where she was unable to pay for diapers.
