Students joining the ‘Diaper Dump’!

Have you heard about the current ‘Diaper Dump’ going on now at Water Street Mission? Our goal is to collect 5,000 diapers by Dec. 31!

Just after we announced that we were in dire need of diapers, a big blessing came our way! A 7th and 8th grade teacher named Rebecca Harvey from Resurrection Catholic school, had talked to her students about having a diaper drive. She called me and I thought it would be nice to get to know her and thank her personally when she brought the diapers in. A few weeks ago she delivered 17 boxes of diapers! She told me that they will do another big Diaper Drive for Christmas. The Women Ministries team hopes to have her and her students come and meet our women and children, to see first-hand the way their support is making a difference for these families.

We are so blessed by the generosity and support of these students and so many others, who are joining to help us provide this diapers for the precious children we serve.
