Volunteer
We would love to have you, your friends and your family come into the warehouse to volunteer!
We need help counting, sorting, wrapping diapers, and assembling flow kits.
Warehouse Wrap-Up: Anything goes! Some days volunteers will help pack and wrap diapers or period supply kits. On other days we’re fulfilling orders, decorating boxes, or packing library kits.
Period Cove: Stocking, counting, sorting, and packing period supplies to get them ready to go out to our community partners. And other projects as needed.
Group Volunteer Opportunities:
We have postponed scheduling large groups as our distributor now provides wrapped diapers, leaving us with fewer activities for our groups.
If you would like to find out other ways to get your group involved, email our Community Engagement & Outreach Manager at jfranks@stldiaperbank.org
Volunteer Friendly Reminders
- Everyone, children included, must always wear a mask in the warehouse.
- If you decide to volunteer, it is important that you know that our warehouse is NOT climate-controlled, so please bring a water bottle and dress appropriately.
- Please note that we are taking extra precautions to make sure our warehouse is a safe space to volunteer. We are cleaning and wiping down all surfaces, so our diapers and period supplies are safe for community partners, families, and individuals receiving them.
- Groups are considered 8 or more volunteers. We are limiting all groups to 20 volunteers, for both public opportunities and private groups.
- Volunteers 10-17 of age have the ability to volunteer at our warehouse location with adult supervision (1 chaperone per 5 youth).
- Registering for volunteer shifts ensures staff has your contact and emergency contact information on file and can properly prepare for the shift.
- We understand life happens, but PLEASE cancel your shift if you’re unable to volunteer. There is a waitlist of participants eagerly wanting to volunteer.
- Check your email prior to your volunteer shift. Our volunteer leads are amazing people and try their best to make every shift, but emergencies do happen!
Committees
The Diaper Bank is looking for people interested in supporting our mission and willing to share their time and talents to help us grow and thrive.
We have a number of positions open for people on committees created to lead and support the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank’s efforts to help end diaper need and period poverty in the St. Louis region.
Committee members will be expected to regularly attend meetings, contribute to discussions, and help provide solutions and manpower when required to fulfill the committee’s goals.
If you’re interested, please review the committee descriptions, and then send us more information.
