The goal for 2022 is to collect at least 500,000 diapers. The March of Diapers will collect a total of one million+ diapers since its inception if this year’s goal is met.
The March of Diapers drive started after South King County resident Cheryl Hurst visited The DAWN domestic violence shelter that routinely has babies accompanying women seeking shelter from domestic abuse. Hurst, says, “I saw that the shelter had only 1 box of diapers and I had this indescribable feeling that something needed to be done to fix this problem.”
