The World’s Largest Diaper Drive™ Gets Underway!

May 5, 2026

As of May 1, communities across Ohio are joining together for an extraordinary cause: the launch of the World’s Largest Diaper Drive™, a project conceived of and orchestrated by Bottoms Up Diaper Bank.

This incredible effort is more than a campaign—it’s a powerful movement designed to ensure that every baby, toddler, and family has access to one of life’s most basic necessities: clean diapers.

For many families, diapers are not just another household item—they’re a significant and recurring expense. Unlike food or medical care, diapers are not covered by federal assistance programs such as SNAP or WIC. As a result, millions of families struggle each day to provide enough diapers for their children. The consequences can be heartbreaking: babies left in soiled diapers longer than they should be, increased health risks, and parents forced to make impossible financial choices between diapers and other essentials.

That’s where the World’s Largest Diaper Drive steps in.

The Momentum Starts with You!
From its very first day, May 1, this statewide initiative has been fueled by a shared vision: that no child should go without the dignity and comfort of a clean diaper.

The scale of the drive is as inspiring as its mission. With coordinated efforts across regions, this campaign aims not just to meet demand—but to redefine what’s possible when communities unite around a clear and compassionate goal.

Why Diapers?
A reliable supply of diapers does more than keep babies clean—it supports overall family well-being. Children with adequate diapers are healthier and less vulnerable to infections and diaper rash. Parents experience reduced stress and are better able to participate in work, school, or job training when they are not constantly worried about running out of diapers.

In fact, access to diapers can even affect childcare eligibility. Many childcare providers require families to bring a daily supply of diapers. Without them, parents may miss work or educational opportunities, creating a cycle that is difficult to break.

A Simple, Powerful Way to Help
This year, we’re inviting individuals, organizations, and businesses to make a bold and meaningful investment: purchase a pallet of diapers for $1,700.

Each pallet holds 10,000 diapers and helps 200 families to get by at a time when they need it. It’s a practical, tangible relief delivered directly to families who need them most. It’s not just a donation; it’s a statement of leadership, compassion, and community commitment.

Whether you are a business leader, are involved in a faith community, a civic group, or simply someone who wants to make a difference in a significant way, purchasing a pallet of diapers is an opportunity to create immediate, measurable impact.

When you fund a pallet of diapers, you’re doing more than meeting a basic need—you’re helping stabilize families, support child development, and strengthen communities. Each pallet becomes a foundation upon which healthier, happier futures are built.

Think of it this way: one pallet can support 200 families, reduce stress, improve health outcomes, and allow parents to focus on what matters most—caring for their children and building a better future.

As we move into May, the momentum is building—but the need remains enormous. This is your moment to step into a larger story, one defined by empathy, action, and impact.

We challenge you to be part of something historic. Rally your networks. Inspire your teams. Consider making a leadership gift by funding a pallet of diapers for just $1,700. Together, we can turn compassion into action and ensure that no family must choose between diapers and dignity.

Of course, all donations and gratefully accepted and make a big difference in the lives of the families served by Bottoms Up.

The World’s Largest Diaper Drive is more than a goal—it’s a promise. A promise that when communities come together, we can meet even the most basic needs with extraordinary generosity.

Join us. Invest in families. Fund a pallet. And do all you can to make history—one diaper at a time.
