Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank is an all-hands-on-deck organization. We rely on the help of numerous local volunteers to get our diapers out the door every month and onto the bottoms of the babies who need them. If you live in the Greater Cincinnati area and are passionate about helping children in need, consider joining our team of dedicated volunteers!
Volunteer sign-up calendar
When you come to wrap diapers at the warehouse you can expect to do any of the following:
Wrapping and counting diapers can be done sitting or standing. You should ideally be able to lift up to 20 pounds if you’re doing a standing job.
Please wear close-toed shoes and comfortable clothing that allows to you move. (It’s not manual labor, but you’re going to be moving around.)
If you want to enhance your volunteer experience, consider the following:
• Bring diapers to donate and wrap! (We always need sizes 4, 5, 6, and pull-ups!)
• Bring your favorite K-cup or coffee pod to brew in the Keurig!
• Bring your favorite snack! (We’ll provide the water and sometimes a few snacks but bringing your own is always appreciated.)
Need anything the day of your volunteer event? Having trouble finding us? Give us a call! 513-402-1450 ext 102 (Ask for Jean).
This image has details about where exactly we’re located and several places you can look for on-street parking around the St. Anthony Center. (Republic St. is usually full so we would recommend you NOT count on a space there–consider it a bonus if you get one!)
We welcome students to Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank! Consider us when looking for rewarding ways to fulfill your community service hour requirements for school and clubs. With our online volunteer signups, tracking and verifying your hours has never been easier! We offer several evening and Saturday morning volunteer times each month to work around your school day, but they fill up fast so don’t wait till the last minute!
Interested in bringing your group to volunteer? Great idea! We can organize a 2-3 hour private volunteer event for your work, school, or social group. Wrapping diapers is a great team-building activity! Email Jean to coordinate your volunteer event.
We welcome kids of all ages to the Sweet Cheeks warehouse. Guardians–you’re the best judge of your younger kiddos’ capacity to work at our warehouse for a couple of hours. We have a small play area to keep younger kids occupied (and contained if you’ve got some really little ones!) while you save the world one clean diaper at a time. Kids under the age of 16 must be accompanied with a youth to adult ratio of 5:1.
There are many ways your younger children can get involved outside the warehouse too. Whether it’s organizing a diaper drive in your neighborhood or school or an Empty-Your-Piggybank change drive to collect loose coins for Sweet Cheeks, it’s never too early to start teaching our kids how to serve others and their community. We’d also love to come speak to your Daisy Troop, Girl Scouts, Cub or Boy Scouts, church youth group, or other group of youngsters about diaper need in the Greater Cincinnati community and how they can help to eliminate it.
