2026 Diaper Drive
Mother's Day is around the corner! Honor those who nurture and support others by donating to the Newton Neighbors city-wide Diaper Drive! This is our 5th year running this program, organizing every step, from fundraising through community distribution. In 2025, with items and monetary donations brought in by our campaign, and coordinating with numerous partner organizations, Newton Neighbors was able to distribute an astounding 53,000 diapers to community members in need! This number represents approximately 790 requests from families seeking support. Our Diaper Drive has grown significantly every year, and we anticipate 2026 will break all records!
Help us get there! An average diaper package costs $15 and a box costs about $45. Any financial donation through our PayPal link will enable us to purchase diapers for this drive, or you can visit our Amazon wishlist to purchase diapers and have them shipped directly to us!

2026 Newton Neighbors Summer Camp Drive
Our co-founder, Ranjani Paradise, is running the 130th Boston Marathon to raise funds to support our 2026 Summer Camp Drive. Over the last six years, this initiative has provided scholarships t0 almost 200 families send their children to camp.
You Did it! Over $25,000 has been raised for our 2026 Summer Camp Program--exceeding our goal! We are so grateful for the incredible response to this year’s Summer Camp Scholarship program, and for the huge lift provided by our marathon runner!
We expect to support more than 70 elementary and middle school campers this summer through your generous donations. Camp is a safe place for all students to continue their growth through learning and play, so vital for healthy bodies and minds. Thank you, and our campers thank you.
Please join us for the 130th Boston Marathon Monday on April 20 to appreciate and cheer not only our runner but all the runners who raise funds on behalf of organizations doing critical work in our communities. Go Boston! Go Marathoners!
Thank you for making a pledge and see you at the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 20th!
