OLC DIAPER DRIVE – OLC is hosting a diaper drive in September to provide diapers for low-income families supported by the Wee Care Ministry of the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte. There are families in our diocese that work every day and still do not make enough money to pay for enough clean diapers for their babies and toddlers. Clean diapers are necessary for a baby’s good health and comfort. MEET ANNA, Anna is a single mother. She recently returned to work but tries to spend as much time as she can with her 5-month-old son. Anna finds herself trying to stretch each week’s diaper supply as much as possible. Even though she knows it’s not the best idea, she often dumps out soiled diapers and puts them back on her son. A less-than-clean diaper is better than no diaper at all. How can you help? 1. You can donate and drop off new and opened packages of diapers, size newborn to 6. A collection bin is located in the Parish Life Center foyer. 2. You can help by spreading the word about diaper need, and by collecting donations from ministry members, family and friends. 3. Don’t have time to shop for diapers? A monetary gift is appreciated. Go to Catholic Charities at https://www.CCDOC.org/donate and specify Wee Care.Read More -
