Get behind the Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota Diaper Drive by hosting a diaper shower. It’s fairly easy and can be lots of fun. Every diaper goes to help local babies.

This step-by-step shower kit will give you everything you need to plan and throw a “shower” to collect diapers and participate in this year’s drive.


The Great Diaper Drive Shower Kit

Step 1 – Set a Date & Send Invitations

We want to make it easy for you to invite your friends and coworkers! Set a date for a shower anytime during the month of March. If you’re doing it at work get permission from your boss first!

  1. Make sure you have a collection box or boxes set out for donations! It’s best when they’re decorated with bright colors.
  2. Set goals! Let your friends or coworkers know how the drive’s going. Take pictures and issue challenges.
  3. Share the information with your coworkers. Here’s a Diaper Shower Poster you can print out – Great for office break rooms or community clubhouses! Just print, add your shower info, and display this flyer!

Step 2 – Spread the Word

Now that you’ve set a date, share your diaper shower with your friends, family, and co-workers!

Here are some ideas to get the creative juices flowing to make your diaper shower fun and special:

OUT-OF-THE-BOX COLLECTION IDEAS
Host a bake sale with diaper-themed baked goods. Or, instead of a lemonade stand, set up a changing table stand and collect diapers from your neighbors.

USE SOCIAL MEDIA
Tell your friends and family you’re collecting diapers for the Great Diaper Drive! Challenge them to donate to your drive!
