Sample Messaging

Get your friends, family, and coworkers involved in your diaper drive! Send a text or email. Personal invitations make people feel valued and more likely to participate.

Let them know why this cause matters to you, and encourage them to drop off a pack of diapers, donate dollars, help spread the word, or even start their own drive.

Sample Message:
