We had a great result from our Seattle area diaper drive events – we collected about 10,000 diapers to benefit WestSide Baby in West Seattle and Eastside Baby Corner in Issaquah. We approached the diaper drive with a true grassroots communication on “How You Can Help” with information on how to host a diaper drive. My goal here was to get all my friends (and their friends) to reach out to their schools, community organizations, and businesses to collect diapers.

As part of our Mother’s Day 2010 campaign, our friends at the Junior Gym in San Mateo held a humdinger of a diaper drive.

As the gates and doors opened to the Mission, it started to rain. Babies in strollers draped with blankets and covered with plastic or umbrellas waited in the chill air, but there was no crying. Some babies slept, one little boy blew us kisses. People smiled when we asked if we could take pictures of their babies to share with you.
