A message from Catholic Charities regarding their Virtual Diaper Drive
An opportunity to support neighbors in this time of great need. This Mother’s Day, we are launching a Virtual Diaper Drive in honor of the moms who are determined to give their child a healthy start to life in these uncertain times.
Now more than ever, it is imperative to help young children and their families meet their basic needs. We have seen an influx of new parents seeking assistance from our Gabriel Project Life Center program due to financial strain caused by COVID-19. We have increased our distribution of diapers, and are now handing out over 3,000 diapers per week at our Austin and Bryan office locations. We need 36,000 diapers to meet the increased demand for these items over the coming months.
What We Need. Diapers (sizes 4, 5, and 6) and baby wipes. Any brand or quantity of diapers or wipes will be accepted. Just one pack of diapers will relieve a week of stress for a young mother struggling to provide for her child during this pandemic.
How to Make a Virtual Donation. Please order diapers and wipes from the retailer of your choice, and ship them directly to our Austin office at 1625 Rutherford Ln., Austin, TX, 78754. For health and safety challenges posed by COVID-19, we are unable to accept in-person donations of diapers and baby wipes at this time.
Marian Pentecost Novena and free book offer!
Don't forget to Send me pictures of your family celebrating Mary this month!
