Why I’m Fundraising for Greater DC Diaper Bank (GDCDB): Thousands of families across our region can not afford basic hygiene items like period products, deodorant, or adult wipes. This fall, I am supporting the Hygiene Kitting and Diaper Drive Prince George's Event to assemble thousands of hygiene kits for families who need them most with [INSERT YOUR ORG NAME].
I’m collecting both dollars and hygiene items. Items will go directly into these kits, and dollars will be used to bulk purchase additional supplies to fill the gaps. GDCDB will distribute the assembled kits through a trusted network of local partners—reaching caregivers across the region, including in Prince George’s County.
**Important note: If you are donating hygiene items, they must be dropped off to GDCDB or purchased from our Amazon list by September 15 so they can be prepared for our event.
We are asking that you hold diapers, training pants/Pull-Ups, and diaper cream until 10/4 (to drop off day-of at the event), or that you please drop them off to me (not Greater DC Diaper Bank) by October 1. If you are using our Amazon link to purchase these items, they will be delivered to a [INSERT YOUR ORG NAME] member and brought to the 10/4 event.**
