Got a knack for graphic design? Create some flyers for an upcoming diaper drive or update their logo. Social media savvy? Help your local program get the attention it deserves online by creating or updating their social media channels. Good with numbers? We have volunteers who have offered their accounting services to programs in need as well.<\/p>\n Hosting diaper wrapping events or diaper drives<\/a> are also great options for work related team building exercises.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/nationaldiaperbanknetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Golden-Volunteer-Screen-Shot.png” title_text=”Golden-Volunteer-Screen-Shot” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n All basic needs banks need the support of community volunteers.

Awareness is the first step for mobilization, and little actions\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>matter when it comes to raising it. Most social media platforms, like Twitter and Facebook,\u00a0have algorithms\u00a0that track, follow, and promote the most popular\u2009\u2014\u2009\u201ctrending\u201d\u2009\u2014\u2009hashtags, bringing pressing social matters to the spotlight.<\/p>\n That is why we encourage you to use the hashtags #DiaperNeed, #EndDiaperNeed<\/strong> and #BasicsArentBasic<\/strong> when discussing our issues on social media.<\/p>\n Many of our supporters are people that have experienced diaper need at some point in their lives, or can empathize with the financial, mental, and emotional strain it puts on families. Sharing personal anecdotes is an impactful way to spark a conversation about the importance of basic needs on social media. You can also talk about facts on diaper need<\/a> that many people are unaware of\u2009\u2014\u2009like how one in three families currently experience diaper need right here in the United States.<\/p>\n They say a picture is worth 1,000 words\u2009\u2014\u2009and this holds especially true on social networks like Facebook and Instagram. The attention span of online audiences is waning every day. So it is crucial you get your point across as quickly and concisely as possible. Photos and graphics are an easy way to accomplish this. Follow us on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a> and use our graphics and videos to make a larger impact!<\/p>\n For any given cause there are several organizations that serve a similar purpose. Seeking out groups and organizations with similar causes will enable you to increase overall knowledge of diaper need and to leverage one other\u2019s social networks.<\/p>\n Keep in mind collaborations don’t necessarily need to be done on a large scale. On the contrary, more accessible groups like your local parenting facebook group are great places to start. Educate others on diaper need and its consequences. Encourage your friends and family to talk about it as well. Virtual fundraisers<\/a> are an excellent way to raise awareness and funds at the same time!<\/p>\nHost a Diaper Drive<\/h1>\n
