Drive Ideas

Looking for inspiration? Here are some fun ways past hosts have run their drives.

Block Party

Turn your neighborhood gathering into a collection event. Ask neighbors to bring a pack of diapers instead of a side dish.

Margarita Trade

The ultimate swap! Host a happy hour where a pack of diapers gets you a signature margarita.

Office Jeans Day

Boost workplace morale! Employees who donate a pack of diapers or $10 get to wear jeans to the office.

Hot Chocolate Stand

Warm up the community! Serve cocoa and accept diaper donations or cash contributions to donate to Little Hands Virginia.

Pumpkin Painting Party

Fall fun for a cause. Have guests bring a pack of diapers as their "ticket."

Neighborhood Porch Pickup

The simplest way to give. Set a date, have neighbors leave diapers on their porch, and you drive around to collect.

Small Business Round-Up

Partner with a local shop to 'round up' change or host a donation box for customers during their visit.

Library Storytime Drive

Coordinate with your local library. Families attending storytime can bring a pack to help local babies.

School Spirit Challenge

A friendly competition between classrooms or grades to see who can collect the most diapers in one week.

Checklist for Successful Drive

  Share Your Why

Personalize your drive by sharing why you are passionate about ending diaper need. People give when they feel connected to our mission of providing essentials to young children. 

📄 Hang Flyers and Post Yard Signs

Post flyers and yard signs in high-traffic spots, like lobbies, break rooms, front desks, and community boards, so people see your drive details every day. 

📧  Conduct Outreach to Your Network

Send a reminder to your email list, social followers, and group chats so everyone knows when and how to give before your drive ends.

📍  Target high traffic areas

Place donation boxes in easily accessible locations and place table tents with donation QR codes at registers or other frequented spots. 

📢  Promote Often

Use the sample posts and story instructions to share progress updates. Consistent posting throughout October keeps the drive top-of-mind.

📝  Report Totals

Ensure all diapers are dropped off by early November and report final counts by November 6th to count toward our 400,000 goal.

  Celebrate Results

When the drive ends, celebrate the total number of diapers collected with your supporters!
