Diaper Drives
- ask guests you're inviting to a birthday party or baby shower to bring a package of diapers with them
- make a package of diapers the "entrance fee" to an event
- have everyone in your club bring a package of diapers with them to a monthly meeting (or every meeting!)
Diaper Drive donations are critical to building and maintaining the supply of diapers the Diaper Bank has to distribute to partner agencies.
Please consider conducting a Diaper Drive to support the DADB!
Highest need sizes:
4,5,6 & Pull-Ups
The Diaper Bank can supply a playpen for you to collect the diapers upon request.
A fun and easy way your organization, company, club, school or place of worship can help the Diaper Bank is to hold a Diaper Drive.
There's no right or wrong way to have a diaper drive. Some ideas are listed further down on this page that might get you started, but every little bit helps, so anything that's geared to collect any amount of diapers is a great idea!
No matter the how, when or where, please let us know that you're interested in running a Drive and what we can do to help. We'll list your diaper drive on this page and publicize it through Facebook and Twitter. You can let your donors know about this page that highlights the diaper deals we know about in retail stores week-to-week to help them get the most diapers for their dollars. You can also provide them with this document if they would like a tax receipt and donation information form.
Some sample flyers and signs are listed here that can help with your publicity and we will be happy to pick up the diapers at the end of your drive.

- have office potlucks for birthdays and holidays and ask coworkers to bring diapers to the events
- having an "over the hill"-type birthday party? ask friends to bring adult incontinence supplies instead of the usual gag gift
- set a goal to collect a certain number by a certain date and recruit everyone you know to help; at work, make it an inter-departmental competition with the winning group earning free lunch or an afternoon off
