Faith Based Diaper Drives
Congregations all over Arizona collect diapers (and cash donations) for the Diaper Bank. And it doesn't take a huge congregation to collect a lot of diapers. 25 packages of 100 diapers and you've just collected 2,500 diapers!
If your congregation would like to do a Diaper Drive to help needy individuals all over town, please let us know how we can help!
We hope these ideas help kick-start your firm’s Diaper Drive!
1. Ask for help! Committees always have more fun, and it will be helpful if you have someone to toss ideas around with. |
2. Do you have groups within your organization? Create a mini competition among them. Come up with something special for the winning group. |
3. Challenge another faith-based organization. The possibilities are endless! |
4. Decorate a central collection area. Playpens make great props, and some baby shower decorations will top it off. A large box wrapped in baby wrapping paper works great, too.
|
5. We have baby bottle banks that you can pass around every Sunday for a month. Those coins and dollars add up fast. Did you know that we are able to purchase 5 diapers for every $1.00 donation? |
6. Advertise in your newsletter. Place fliers around your building. |
7. Adopt a specific agency who is receiving diapers and set a goal to provide all their diapers for the year. Go to www.diaperbank.org for a list of our 55 distribution centers. |
8. Encourage your Youth Group to organize a drive. It is a wonderful way for them to give back to the community. |
