Frequently Asked Questions
What is Operation Diaper Drop?
For the last six years, from December 1st to New Years Day, Operation Baby New Year has raised hundreds of thousands of diapers for organizations in the Saint Cloud area that distribute diapers directly to families. When we heard about the "diaper deserts" that were popping up all over the Twin Cities, we knew we had to act! That is why we are currently collecting and raising funds for diapers, wipes, and formula so we can get them out to distribution centers all over Minneapolis and St Paul that are in desperate need of diapers.
Do you accept open packages of diapers?
If the diapers are out of the box but still in their unopened plastic sleeve, yes! We will happily take diapers that your little ones have grown out of.
Is my donation to the Operation Baby New Year tax deductible?
Yes. Operation Baby New Year is sponsored by herARTS in Action which is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Who receives diapers I donate to Operation Baby New Year?
During our holiday diaper drive in St Cloud from December 1st through New Years Day, Operation Baby New Year distributes all donated diapers directly to local organizations, agencies, programs, shelters, and food shelves that service thousands of families in the Saint Cloud area.
What size diapers are needed most?
The diapers we need most are 4 - 5 - 6 pull-ups. That said, families need diapers of every size, so any donation will make a big difference to a baby in need!
Can I donate any brand of diapers?
Yes. Any brand of disposable baby diaper is very much appreciated. Target usually has excellent deals and gift card specials for baby products during the holiday season and year round.
Do you accept cloth diapers?
We are not currently able to accept cloth diapers. Unfortunately, there are many roadblocks to low-income parents being able to use cloth diapers.
Do you accept adult diapers?
Our mission is to help support babies and toddlers in central Minnesota, and we want to cover their butts. However, if you just so happen to have a package of adult incontinence diapers , we can get them to where they are needed.

Every dollar that is donated to Operation Baby New Year goes directly to purchasing diapers for babies in need, and we buy in bulk to maximize every contribution.
