HappyBottoms will send a registration link and shift details once your shift is confirmed.

 

Our Mission

To collaborate with the community to empower, connect and impact families by alleviating diaper need. Learn more about  HappyBottoms HERE.

 

Impact

Your volunteer efforts enable HappyBottoms to provide 3.4 million diapers annually to children from families in the KC Metro area, distributed through our network of community collaborators.

 

Preparation

Please wear closed toe shoes during your shift and comfortable clothes.

 

Description of Shift

We will unlock the doors about 10 minutes before your scheduled shift. We have a large parking. You may enter through the glass doors. If they are locked, please ring the doorbell.

 

Check-in and learn how HappyBottoms is working to eliminate diaper need in the KC region, tour the warehouse and receive training.  

 

Volunteers wrap diaper packages, fill monthly orders for agencies and hospitals, clean distribution bag tags, and complete other tasks as requested

 

Wrapping diapers includes taking diapers out of boxes/bags, counting, bundling together, wrapping with a machine or by hand and attaching labels. Filling orders includes counting and placing diaper packs onto carts/pallets and placing them in bags/boxes according to order requirements.

 

There will be light cleaning, sanitizing, recycling and disposing of trash created during the shift. Time will be allocated at the end of the shift to take photos, provide us feedback about your experience and celebrate what you accomplished!

 

Safety

Closed toe shoes are required. Once volunteers arrive all doors are locked from the outside.
