I just ordered a few boxes from Amazon - should arrive on the 30th. Hopefully that's not too late.
When do you plan to deliver? I can't wait to see pics of the final haul!
I'm hoping to schedule a warehouse drop off on Saturday, May 9th, but it's not confirmed yet. If any stragglers come in after that I can do another run.
I am definitely going to need some extra cars and hands though--KC MMMs, is that a good date for you guys? I'm thinking I can have you all over for breakfast and then we can drive everything down. pugzrobyn @kcpokergal JayhawkGirlcjeanettevanillacourage and everyone else I'm forgetting.
Sorry, I didn't get notification of the tag May 9 works for me! DH I think has to work that day though, if I have DD with me is that a problem? I'll drive the truck!

We are at 8,783 diapers, just through what I've gotten in person and the Amazon registry. I know some people are shipping to me separately or bringing them the day of.
10,000 sounds like a nice round number, eh? That would be cool.

If you're short, let me know. DH and I annually make a contribution to The National Diaper Bank since this issue was highlighted here a few years ago. I really wish I could help in person!

Amex users, there is an offer right now for $20 off a $20 purchase on Amazon. Don't know if everyone gets the offer or if it's targeted, but check to see!
You know that cheesy story about that kid walking on the beach with tons of starfish and he throws one back, and some guy is like "that's dumb, you'll never save them all," and he throws another one and says "I made a difference to that one?"
That's what this reminds me of. These diapers are nowhere near enough to solve the problem of diaper need, but this is enough to diaper 3 full kids for a full year. And there's more coming. We are making a difference.

Ok so IF I wanted to post this link on Facebook and ask people to donate, how should I word it so that they never find me here?! I would say a friend is organizing it, but I know people would grill me about how I know someone from KC and ask how we're friends!

Ok, I posted it! Brie I wasn't sure if you'd want me to tag you and/or post the link, so I left those off. I'd be happy to do either if you think that would be better!
Placed my order! Should arrive april 28. I just sent a small pack of pull ups and I'm going to donate a larger amount to a local bank. Thanks you doing this! And, Patrick, I'll purchase ad-free PB when I get home, you rock.

If you did post it, can you share how you worded it? I'd like to post it too!
YW! A friend IRL donated and asked me who Brie was, mainly bc she thought the diapers were for her personally, lol. I said no, she's the organizer, another mom from my online moms group and they're going to her house then being taken by her to the diaper bank. She didn't ask any more questions. I figured it was easier to address questions like that on an individual basis rather than put anything re: the board out there.
