FAQ
Why a Diaper Drive?
I remembered when my babies outgrew their diapers and that one time I had a brand new box of 200+ diapers with only 2 diapers used because they didn't fit my baby. I always thought, "What do I do with these diapers?" When I found out Edmonton's Food Bank takes open box diapers, I knew I could gather our community to find all those extra diapers in our diaper bags, cars and closets to support families in need.
Have you reached your goal before?
YESSS!!! We have reached our goal two years in a row! On top of raising over 20,000 diapers each year, we have also raised thousands of dollars in monetary donations.
Where can I drop off diapers?
The Fourth is the only drop off location. There are no other locations as we are physically counting every diaper to make sure we reach our goal! Come by the shop in Southgate Centre.
From inside Southgate Centre, go up the elevator or stairs by LEGO, Dynamite and Guest Services. We are not connected to Aritzia or London Drugs.
From outside Southgate Centre, drive up the ramp by TD Bank. Turn left at the top of the ramp. You'll see main entrance doors immediately to your right. Go in the doors and The Fourth is the first shop inside.
Do you take other items?
Our shop is located far from where the food bank trucks are. To reduce their workload, we are asking only for diapers, pulls ups and swim diapers.
I need diapers, can I get them from you?
All diapers are donated and designated for Edmonton's Food Bank. If you are in need of diapers, please contact Edmonton's Food Bank directly. The Fourth and our staff are unable to hand out any diapers from our diaper drive and we are not able to trade for different sizes. Thank you for your understanding.
How can I help?
Please donate diapers or make a monetary donation. Most importantly, please share about our diaper drive! The more people who know, the closer we will be to achieving our goals.
How can I share?
Take a photo or video when you make your donation and share on social media!
Share about the 20K Diaper Drive for Edmonton's Food Bank from The Fourth, Edmonton Playgrounds and Edmonton's Food Bank social media accounts.
