How to volunteer at the Austin Diaper Bank warehouse

The public warehouse signup is active, but capacity is live

Austin Diaper Bank’s official volunteer page currently invites the public to reserve warehouse shifts through POINT. Every participant, including a child volunteering with an adult, must register for the specific shift in the online system.

The organization caps each shift at 10 volunteers. Its public page embeds a live calendar rather than publishing a fixed list of openings in the article text, so an available date can fill between viewing and checkout. Create or use a POINT account and finish registration before traveling; a general interest in volunteering is not a reservation.

Help Austin verified the active registration route on September 28, 2026. The embedded calendar requires JavaScript, so volunteers who cannot use it should contact the organization directly rather than assume a shift is closed.

• Open the official volunteer page and choose a live opportunity in POINT.
• Register every person who will attend, including minors.
• Keep the POINT confirmation and recheck the shift before departure.
• Do not arrive for an unreserved shift; capacity is limited to 10 people.

Each shift is two hours and the minimum age is 13

Austin Diaper Bank publishes a two-hour shift length and a minimum volunteer age of 13. The page does not state that 13- to 17-year-olds may register without an adult, so families should follow the exact supervision instructions shown in the selected POINT opportunity.

The organization describes the work as hands-on warehouse service. Typical tasks include wrapping diaper bundles, sorting donations, taking inventory and preparing supplies for distribution through partner organizations.

No specialized experience is listed. The work may involve standing, moving around a warehouse and handling boxes or bundles, but the public page does not publish a lifting requirement or accommodation plan. Ask the volunteer coordinator before reserving if those details affect participation.

Closed-toe shoes are required

The volunteer FAQ requires closed-toe shoes and asks participants to wear comfortable clothing suitable for warehouse work, with midriffs covered. The volunteer room is climate-controlled, and the organization says water, coffee and snacks are available.

Those amenities do not change the registration requirement or make every task equally accessible. Review the selected shift’s live instructions, and contact Austin Diaper Bank in advance if you need a seating, mobility or other accommodation.

The warehouse is at 2210 Denton Drive, Suite 103, Austin, Texas 78758. That address is published on the organization’s donation page; use the location in the POINT confirmation for the final volunteer arrival instruction.

Private groups use a separate one-month planning route

Companies, organizations and groups of friends can request a private volunteer session instead of taking places in a public shift. Austin Diaper Bank asks groups to contact volunteer coordinator Moira McCandless at least one month in advance so staff can coordinate the session.

That request is not an instant booking and the page does not publish a private-group capacity. A group organizer should wait for confirmation before announcing a date or promising places to participants.

Smaller groups may also use public shifts when individual spaces are available, but every attendee still needs a POINT registration. The 10-person public capacity means a large group should use the private-session route rather than split into unconfirmed arrivals.

The warehouse prepares supplies for a partner network

Austin Diaper Bank does not hand diapers directly to individuals at the warehouse. Its volunteer page says it works through more than 40 partner agencies across Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Caldwell, Burnet and Lee counties, and the current help directory sends families to partner sites or ConnectATX.

The organization’s current homepage says its network reaches more than 37,000 Central Texas families and 89 programs and sites. Those are organization-published program figures, not a promise that every partner has every diaper size in stock on a particular day.

People who need supplies should use the official help directory or call 2-1-1. People who want to donate in addition to volunteering can use the warehouse drop-off instructions; the donation page currently identifies diaper sizes 4, 5 and 6 and tampons as immediate needs, while accepted items and needs can change.

Choose the correct route before you go

Use the volunteer page and POINT for a public warehouse shift. Use the one-month private-session contact for a company or organized group. Use the donation page for material drop-offs, and use the help directory—not the warehouse—to find diapers for a household.

These four routes solve different needs. Keeping them separate helps protect limited shift capacity, avoids sending families to a distribution point that does not serve individuals and gives staff time to plan group service safely.

Help Austin reviewed the volunteer, donation, help and homepage information on September 28, 2026. Public shift inventory remains live in POINT, so the official calendar controls over any availability mentioned elsewhere.
