2026 Drive Second-Most Successful Ever – 57,740 Diapers Collected

57,740 diapers were collected during the 2026 Metro-Boston Diaper Drive!  Thank you to all of our longstanding collection sites! We are especially grateful to Karen Miller, owner of Magpie Kids who not only collects diapers, but matches what her patrons bring in!  

We are also so grateful to the collection sites that came on board for the first time.  When we heard that WIC Somerville was now responsible for 19 towns instead of the 8 they had served since the Drive’s inception in 2013, we hoped to get collection boxes in all 19 towns.  We managed to get boxes in 18 of them!  In all, we had over 60 places for donors to drop off diapers!  

Finally, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge some volunteers who helped pull off this herculean effort.  They helped find new collection sites and publicize the Drive, picked up and delivered diapers, connected us to new volunteers, put collection boxes on their porches, and more.  Thank you Alison, Karen, Debbie, Laura, Stephanie, Courtney, Vickie, Erin, Jasmine, Megan, Lindsay, Lauren, Erin, Kate, Nana & Anna, Bonnie, Suzi, Abby, Kerri, Dori, Colleen, Jay, Susanna & Corey, Anna, and Sarah.  And, of course, thank you Somerville WIC!
