HOST A DIAPER DRIVE
Hosting a Diaper Drive is a fantastic way to involve your school, office, neighborhood, faith-based organization, civic group or club in a worthy cause. Important: you must be with an organization, business, or group to host a Diaper Drive, no individual collections please.
Here's how simple it is...
Step 1: DESIGNATE A COORDINATOR
This person (very possibly you!) will be responsible for communication with the South Jersey Dream Center, promoting the Diaper Drive, and coordinating the actual collection. You may want to have several people act as a committee, but there should only be one person in contact with us.
STEP 2: ASK FOR SUPPORT
Make sure your school, church, office, or organization top management has endorsed your Diaper Drive and will do everything they can to help you organize, promote, and run it.
STEP 3: CHOOSE YOUR DATES
Being that babies and toddlers always need diapers, a Diaper Drive can be conducted any time of the year! The perfect time for your Diaper Drive is NOW. Select a start date that gives you plenty of time for planning and organization.
STEP 4: REGISTER YOUR DIAPER DRIVE
Registration your Diaper Drive using the form on this page.
STEP 5: PLAN YOUR COLLECTION
Choose a high traffic area for your collection containers. Have a contest between departments or group members to see who can collect the most packages of diapers. Earn a dress down day if you bring a package of diapers to work on Friday.
STEP 6: SET A GOAL!
People like to shoot for a goal. Determine how many diapers you hope to collect. Don't be afraid to think big!
STEP 7: SPREAD THE WORD!
Promote your Diaper Drive by hanging posters, distributing flyers, and making announcements at meetings. Put notices in your local newsletter, bulletin, or other publications. Put collection boxes out early, and decorate containers to draw attention to them. Include your goal in all your publicity material. Spreading the word is essential to your Diaper Drive's success.

STEP 8: COLLECT THE DIAPERS
As diaper donations come in, check your collection areas for overflow and box items as you go. Continue promoting your Diaper Drive throughout the collection period.
STEP 9: DELIVER THE DIAPERS
If you drop off the diapers yourself, you save us time, money, and resources. if that's not a possibility, no problem, we will pick up your wonderful donation. Please contact Natalie at 856-845-4500 or nfortunato@southjerseydreamcenter.org to make arrangements to transfer the diapers.
