Have a Virtual Diaper Drive

We are also able to offer individuals and groups the option of a Virtual

Diaper Drive, which is an internet-based drive that allows supporters to

make monetary donations to The Diaper Bank to purchase diapers in bulk at

a reduced rate.

Why host a virtual diaper drive? The answer is simple - to get more diapers

for your money. Since we purchase diapers in bulk, our dollars go farther than

yours would at your grocery store or outlet.

It's fast. It's easy. It's fun, and it helps more people in need . . . give us a call

to find out more about how to host your own Virtual Diaper Drive!

Here’s what it looks like:

Text ‘diaperbank’ to 228-28 to

join our mailing list.
