The Christ Child Society Diaper Drive
As we approach Mothers’ Day, the Christ Child Society wants to make the lives of infants, toddlers and Moms in our community better, healthier and safer! When a baby cries, one of the first things Mom checks is his diaper. How do you soothe a crying baby if you don’t have a clean, dry diaper? Imagine the stress and despair Moms feel when they can’t soothe their babies in a most basic way-and inflation has impacted the price of diapers, too. The Christ Child Society will hold its annual Diaper Drop on Wednesday, May 8, from 9 AM to 2 PM at the Christ Child Society Clothing Center in the Town and Country Shopping Center. Simply drive up and drop off your donation.
Diapers will be delivered to local organizations by The Christ Child Society to be shared immediately with Moms in need. The CCS program, Foster Hope, will also provide diapers to babies entering foster care.
Sizes 3 to 7 and pull-ups are in most demand
