DIAPER BANK of Southern Arizona

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.

Let us know if you're planning a diaper drive and have any unique ideas for your drive.
