Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank

We have three broad goals for Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank through the end of 2019. The main theme for all is GROWTH.

Goal 1: Growth of Program
Within the growth of our program we would like to
--distribute 2 million diapers
--develop an educational collateral program
--increase the number of partner agencies we distribute diapers to

Goal 2: Growth of Revenue
Within the growth of our revenue we would like to
--increase our annual revenue year over year
--remain fiscally sound by operating within our annual budget
--design and implement a Fund Development Strategic Plan

Goal 3: Growth of Community
Within the growth of our community we would like to
--create a robust public relations campaign
--construct a strategic marketing and communications plan
--strategically collaborate to help positively impact poverty
--become a leader in the National Diaper Bank Network

Goal 1: Growth of Program
Our strategies for growing our program include: bringing on our second employee to manage our diaper distribution program and creating an inventory management system to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our program.

Goal 2: Growth of Revenue
Building out and populating our donor database will be the foundation of the successful growth of our revenue. Once we're properly organized, we can create a development plan that capitalizes on our strengths to grow at an aggressive but attainable rate.

Goal 3: Growth of Community
The foundation of our desire to grow our community begins with diaper need awareness. Once we raise awareness of diaper need in the Greater Cincinnati Area and the existence of Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank to combat it, we will have more strategic and meaningful connections to other agencies. We will also be working with local professionals to develop the PR and Marketing strategies and campaigns that will help us raise our awareness.

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank is uniquely qualified to wipe out diaper need because it is the first and only diaper bank of its kind in the Greater Cincinnati Area. No other organization has taken on diaper need by providing partner agencies with the one item their clients ask for consistently but they aren't able to provide: diapers. By using the partner agency distribution model, we are ensuring our diapers are part of a larger hand up out of poverty. As a proven incentive to a monthly touchpoint of case management and other critical services, our diapers motivate families to put in the work, show up to their appointments, and consequently start to move forward out of poverty.

We also have the support of the National Diaper Bank Network and diaper banks across the country that offer incredible guidance, support, research and brainstorming.

SCDB has grown exponentially since first giving diapers to one partner agency in January of 2016. Monthly distribution grew from 1,700 diapers in January 2016 to 180,000 in November 2022. In a very short amount of time, SCDB exceeded program goals and fostered support from local communities and has become a leader in the basic needs bank space.
