Opportunities From: One Albuquerque Volunteers

 Did you know that the Junior League of Albuquerque has a diaper bank that serves the underserved populations of the ABQ community? We are also one of 2 National Diaper Bank Network Partner Diaper Banks in the state. 

The Junior League of Albuquerque believes all babies should have the diapers they need, yet 1 in 4 families struggle to afford diapers. In 2020 the Junior League of Albuquerque distributed more than 40 thousand diapers! This is a wonderful opportunity to collect diapers and ensure all babies have diapers to be healthy and happy.

 

Our goal is to collect 5,000 boxes/packs of diapers!

  

Here is how you can participate in 3 easy steps:

Visit Junior League of Albuquerque Amazon Wish List Select the item(s) you’re donating Purchase the Wish List Item(s) & include "1abq" alongside your purchase in the “gift notes” for the donation. 

 OR 

If you would prefer to drop off diapers in person, you may stop by our offices at 3900 Osuna Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109 and just make sure to put a sticky note on your donation that says ABQONE - this will help us to identify the source of the donations. 

There will be a sign that says no donations, but just leave them with the receptionist. We will get them.

  

Our Must Need Items:

Diapers sized 3, 4, 5, and 6 Pull-up Sizes 3T - 4T and 4T-5T Baby Formula (NEW, Powdered, un-opened) 

 

MaskupNM is changing! We keep on crafting for change through volunteering for our community!

We are recruiting volunteers with any crafting skills to make handmade items that provide change and show how much we care to many different charity organizations in our city. Now that we have helped with over 75,000 protective masks for first responders, medical professionals, and vulnerable individuals in the community, we want to keep providing handmade items that can make a difference, and that means you can help on your free time while you're turning your hobbies into real life help. 

If you can sew and have your own sewing machine, can knit, crochet, loom knit, or you can teach others or your kids to do the same, or even if you can only donate materials, then you can help. There's always projects to put your hands to help. We may be able to provide materials and patterns, depending on the task, and we'd like to know if you can join in action.

Join the @MaskupNM Facebook community today to coordinate with others in Albuquerque undertaking this important work.

If you are interested in donating materials, please contact us at MaskupNM@gmail.com

By responding to this opportunity we can turn your time into more resources for the city when you log your hours.
