Diaper Drive

SAVE THE DATE!! 2012 DIAPER DRIVE: March 1st – May 15th

The 2011 Diaper Drive was a HUGE success we were able to collect more than 95,000 diapers.  We would like the 2012 Diaper Drive to be just as successful!!

About the Diaper Drive

  • The Diaper Drive started four years ago when the Great Start Parent Coalition decided to do a service project.  When researching what to do, we discovered some astounding facts.  One out of four children in Kent County are born into poverty.  Programs such as, W.I.C. and food stamps do not cover the cost of diapers.
  • We have teamed up with our local food pantries in greater Grand Rapids area and over the last three years we were able to collect over 160,000 diapers for them
  • The Diaper Drive is a grass roots event that allows children, families, churches, businesses, and organizations to learn about the spirit and importance of giving to those in need.  And how easy it really is to help others.  It has become more than just a service project that one Coalition does, it has become a service project greater Grand Rapids does.
