Q: How do I register as a volunteer?
A: Navigate to the “Get Involved” option in the menu, then click Volunteers. Click “Sign-Up” and enter your contact information. Then you are all set! Make sure to check your inbox for a confirmation email!
Q: What can I expect when volunteering?
A: Volunteer tasks include wrapping, sorting, inventorying, and fulfilling distributions. Volunteering with us is easy and fun!
Q: Do you give diapers to individuals?
A: We work with 40 partner agencies in six counties (Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Caldwell, and Burnet) to distribute diapers. Our partners serve babies, children, families, and seniors.
Q: Where do these diapers come from?
A: 40% come from donation spots and diaper drives in the community. We purchase 60% of our inventory at less than half the cost of retail from our manufacturing partners.
Q: What are your most needed sizes?
A: We receive the fewest donations and most requests for baby sizes 4-5-6 and Pull-Ups. Babies stay in these sizes the longest and most people think of infants when deciding what sizes to purchase and donate. Larger sizes cost more per diaper.
Q: Why not cloth diapers?
A: We focus on disposable diapers because most daycare centers and shelters don’t allow cloth diapers and families need adequate laundry facilities for cloth diapers.
Q: Can I come volunteer again?
A: Sure! We would love to have you and/or your group come to volunteer again. To do so, please visit our website and click the Get Involved tab then click Volunteer and choose a date and time
