Third annual Diaper Drop

9:00am – 2:00pm

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 baby in this most basic way. This Mother’s Day, the Christ Child Society wants to make the lives of infants, toddlers and Moms in our community better, healthier and safer!

Diapers will be delivered to the following agencies: El Campito, St. Margaret’s House, YWCA, La Case de Amistad, Center for the Homeless and St. Vincent de Paul as well as Foster Hope (a Christ Child Society program). Last year, well over 40,000 diapers were collected. The goal for 2022 is 60,000!

These organizations refer clients to The Christ Child Society when, every autumn, thousands of children from birth through age 14 receive new coats, clothing, shoes and books at the CCS Clothing Center. For 75 years, The Christ Child Society has steadfastly served the children of St. Joseph County.

We are a group of Catholic young adults from all over Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio, striving to live as intentional disciples of the Lord and conscious instruments of the Holy Spirit in the work of the New Evangelization. Our mission is to boldly proclaim the Gospel message by the beauty of the music we sing, the splendor of the truths we teach, the authenticity of our friendship, and the witness of our lives. We have performed at parishes and venues all across the Diocese of Fort Wayne and the Diocese of Toledo (OH).
