Planning a School-Based Diaper Fundraiser

Planning a School-Based Diaper Fundraiser

Schools are ideal venues for hosting diaper drives or fundraising events. They offer the dual benefit of engaging families while educating students about community service and empathy.

Why Host One in a School?

Children’s needs resonate strongly with school communities. A school-based diaper drive supports families with young children while teaching students about compassion, inequality, and public service.

How to Organize It

1. Get Approval and Support Work with school leadership and parent-teacher associations to gain approval and support.

2. Pick a Theme and Goal Examples: “Stuff the Bus” or “1,000 Diaper Challenge.” Set a numeric goal to aim for.

3. Promote Through Multiple Channels Use newsletters, bulletin boards, morning announcements, and class challenges to encourage participation.

4. Make It Fun Offer pizza parties or “free dress” days as incentives for the classroom that donates the most.

5. Partner Locally Work with a local diaper bank to collect the donations. Find one through the National Diaper Bank Network.

6.
