Everyone with a baby in the house knows how expensive diapers are. Now a Wellesley-based nonprofit has planned a drive to provide diapers to families in need. The goal: 10,000 diapers.
The drive is scheduled for Saturday, May 22, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Linden Square. It is being organized by Kids Backing Kids (https://www.kidsbackingkids.org/), launched in April 2020 by the Rodrigue family.
KBK said many of the young volunteers had never thought much about diapers. But when you do give it some thought, they said, you re left with a lot of questions, like: Why can t federal assistance programs be used to buy diapers? And why are diapers so expensive, costing $80 to $100 per month for just one child? And what could they do to help families who need diapers?
12 Oregon homes sold for $200,000 over asking price or more in 2020
Updated Jan 01, 2021;
When the number of homes for sale is low and so are interest rates, competing home shoppers wanting a desirable mortgage may offer full asking price or more for a residential property. That’s the case in the Portland area, where the inventory of homes on the market has been minuscule for years and plunged to a record low in November.
The seller’s market forces buyers to face bidding wars or wait.
More than one in four 26.9% of homes in the Portland area sold for more than their asking price in 2019, according to an analysis by the real estate marketplace Zillow. As high as that sounds, that’s a drop from 31.7% in 2018.
