Volunteer Opportunities

We are currently recruiting some volunteers to help us manage the growth of the diaper bank and we would love for you to help us!

There are many ways to volunteer at the diaper bank.  Many opportunities can be done from your own phone and/or in places where you already frequent.  Most of the work can be done along with your children, or by email and phone.  There are ways for people to make a difference with just 5 hours a year, 5 hours a week, or anywhere in between!  There are also a few leadership opportunities for those of you looking for an impressive way to fill that “mommy gap” (or "daddy gap") on your resume while you stay home with your kids!

Take a look at the opportunities below, then send us an email and let us know how you can help!  Our most needed positions are listed first, then there are several volunteering ideas organized by time commitment.
