Frequently Asked Questions
Can I donate local?
Yes! We encourage families to donate within their local communities.
However, the goal of the Pay it Forward program at Kinder is to offset the cost of donating gently used diapers for families in hopes to encourage more families to donate items they are no longer using.

Can I Donate Disposable Diapers?
We recommend contacting the 501-C3 that you are interested in to see if they accept open, unused disposable diaper donations.

How to determine if a diaper should be donated?
Follow these tips when choosing whether to donate or discard a used cloth diaper.
- Is the item in good working condition, free of tears, rips, snags, odors or staining?
- Would you pay money for this item if found while shopping second hand?
If you answered no to either of the above questions, it's best to discard the item rather than donating it.
