Not only is it a family-fun movie this Saturday night at West Seattle Outdoor Movies – “The Muppets” (2011) with a “Wallace and Gromit” short – it’s also a chance to help families all over our area. Saturday’s spotlight nonprofit is WestSide Baby, and you’re invited to help them reach the summer’s “Stuff the Bus” goal by bringing diapers:

WestSide Baby is pleased to be the recipient organization this Saturday evening! Please bring diapers and change for the concessions and raffle! Thanks to the event sponsors and the West Seattle Junction Association, we will receive proceeds from all of the concessions as well as from a raffle conducted by the event organizers. WestSide Baby provides essential items for local children in need and we operate the largest diaper bank in the Pacific Northwest. On July 21 we held our one big community diaper drive of the year, Stuff the Bus 21 and we still need 25,000 diapers to reach our goal of collecting 250,000 diapers from this event. Diapers are expensive and are not covered by food stamps. This week NBC News announced a recent study showing the adverse impact of Diaper Need on maternal mental health. Diapers matter to families in need.

So bring some Saturday night! Even if you’re not staying for the movie (AND the free barbecue presented by West Seattle Christian Church)! WS Outdoor Movies happen in the courtyard by Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (4410 California SW; WSB sponsor), with the film screening around dusk, probably just after 9 pm this week.
