Hosting a Diaper Donation Drive at Your Workplace

Hosting a Diaper Donation Drive at Your Workplace

Workplace donation drives are a powerful way to create social impact. Bringing coworkers together to collect diapers for families in need not only supports a vital cause but also builds stronger team culture and community spirit.

Why the Workplace?

Many families in the U.S. struggle to afford enough diapers—1 in 3, in fact. Diapers are not covered under SNAP or WIC benefits, leaving many parents in difficult situations. Hosting a diaper drive at your workplace can directly support families through local diaper banks while also raising awareness about this hidden form of poverty.

Steps to Launch a Successful Drive

1. Get Management Support Begin by pitching the idea to HR or your management team. Emphasize the social impact and opportunity for employee engagement.

2. Set Up Collection Points Place clearly labeled boxes in break rooms or entryways. Accept unopened diaper packages and wipes in all sizes.

3. Choose a Partner Partner with a local diaper bank to coordinate donations. Use this directory to find one near you.

4. Incentivize Participation Offer small prizes for the department that donates the most. Even simple thank-you cards or recognition in the company newsletter can motivate involvement.

5. Track and Share Your Impact Count the diapers collected and communicate results with the entire team.
