“Any family that has ever had a newborn or a toddler understands how expensive diapers are. Some families are forced to choose between proper nutrition and properly diapering their children," Thompson said. "We want to help ease that burden, and we’re asking the community to come together and donate just one package of diapers. Every donation helps families in Southwest Riverside County.”

All diapers collected will be distributed to Birthchoice in Temecula and Elsinore Valley Pregnancy Resource Center in Lake Elsinore.

"These nonprofit organizations provide crucial assistance to families in need," Thompson said. “These organizations exist simply to help families. If a family with a child under two years old needs assistance, they can reach out, and help will be provided—no strings attached. That’s why we partner with them; we share the same values of care and compassion.”

The Vine FM will keep everyone up to date on where to drop off and when.

“We’ll be making frequent announcements on the radio, through social media, and via email to ensure everyone knows where we’ll be and how they can participate.”

How to Get Involved:

  • Donate a package of diapers at any of The Vine FM’s remote collection events.
  • Spread the word by sharing The Great Diaper Drive 2025 on social media.
  • Encourage local businesses and organizations to participate by hosting their own diaper collection drives.
  • And most of all, pray that these diapers meet the need of Southwest Riverside County.
