Metro-Boston Diaper Drive!

Hi everyone,

Our annual diaper drive is currently underway!  We've changed the name to the Metro-Boston Diaper Drive since so many additional communities have become involved over the years.  Please check out our new website here!:  http://www.mbdiapers.org/

All the best,

Hi everyone,

We are very excited to announce that our Fifth Annual Somerville Moms' Diaper Drive will be held from Saturday, September 23 to Sunday, October 8!!  As in previous years, all diapers will be donated to the Somerville WIC office, which serves Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Watertown, Lexington, and Belmont.

We have 22 locations in Arlington, Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville where diapers can be dropped off (and opened packages of diapers are accepted!):

Diapers can also be donated by purchasing them through our Amazon registry or Target registry or sending them directly to the WIC office (Somerville WIC Office, c/o Carla Sodeyama, 366 Broadway, Suite 102, Somerville, MA 02145).  Monetary donations can also be made to our Paypal account (using SomervilleDiaperDrive@gmail.com), which we use to purchase additional diapers in bulk from Costco when our supply runs low.

Please check out our Facebook page and help us spread the word about the drive!

Thank you so much to all our volunteers and drop off site locations!  We hope this year's drive will be our most successful yet!!

Hi! We're very excited to announce that the Fourth Annual Somerville Moms Diaper Drive will be held Saturday, September 24 to Sunday, October 9. Last year, our wonderful community donated 37,644 diapers and helped over 500 families! We hope to help as many families this year. All the diapers we collect will be donated to the Somerville/Cambridge WIC office that serves Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Watertown, Lexington, and Belmont.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help find drop off sites (your office, child's school or daycare, gym, doctor's office, or anywhere with space for a collection box), be in charge of collecting diapers from this site over the two week diaper drive period, and deliver the diapers to the WIC office in Somerville.

If you’d like to purchase diapers now you can:
1.  Buy diapers from our Amazon registry and have them shipped to directly to the WIC office. 
2.  Ship diapers directly to the WIC office from your favorite store*:

3.  Make a monetary donation to our Paypal account:  SomervilleDiaperDrive@gmail.com so we can buy additional diapers in bulk from Costco when our supply runs low.

Please also help us make the diaper drive a success by posting about it and sharing our website on social media!  

I'd also like to give a HUGE thank you to Aimee Mills, who ran the diaper drive with me for the past three years, and to Kim Jalet, who will be taking her place this year.

We greatly appreciate your support!!

All the best,

Kerstin
