With 1 in 3 families experiencing diaper need and no diaper banks in central Arkansas, PHUMC chose to answer the call. After organizing a successful Diaper Drive in September of 2018, we opened the Central Arkansas Diaper Bank in April 2019. The Central Arkansas Diaper Bank is a FREE community resource that is open to anyone in the central Arkansas community.
Spirit of Arkansas Diaper Drive
The Central Arkansas Diaper Bank has teamed up with Edwards Food Giant and KATV – Channel 7 for our annual Spirit of Arkansas Diaper Drive. Diaper donations will be accepted the entire month of September at all Central Arkansas Edwards Food Giant and Edwards Cash Saver locations. You can also bring diapers to Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church (4823 Woodlawn Dr.). Bring your donations to the donation station outside of Entrance 7 off of Lee Avenue
How To Receive Diapers
The Central Arkansas Diaper Bank is open on the first Wednesday of each month at the Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church Lower Parking Deck (Parking Lot 3), located off of Lee Avenue!
On that first Wednesday, the diaper bank’s pickup hours are 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for those families who pre-ordered! To guarantee diapers are available in the size you need, families MUST pre-order and fill out a registration form by contacting phumcdiaperbank@gmail.com.
Please note: Due to COVID-19, diaper pickup is being done curbside, with families remaining in their vehicles.
How to Help
Volunteer: Volunteers are always needed. If you’d like to staff the pickup desk, organize diapers or feel called to serve in another way, contact us at phumcdiaperbank@gmail.com.
