Do you need help with diapers? Register for Diaper Depot!

One of the biggest expenses for families with young children isn't food, clothing, or toys, it's diapers.

A baby can go through thousands of diapers before being potty trained, and many families struggle to keep up with the cost.

That's why Diaper Depot is here!

Through our partnership with HappyBottoms, enrolled children from birth to age 4 can receive supplemental diapers each month to help keep little ones healthy, happy, and dry.

Register today by scanning the QR code below or by visiting https://coverd.happybottoms.org/public/client #/

For any questions about registration, email [email protected] or call 816.364.1131

WE NEED SHOES!! A new pair of shoes may seem small, but to a child heading back to school, it can mean confidence, comfort, and a fresh start.

Our inventory is running low, and we urgently need donations of NEW tennis shoes for students of all ages (men's sizes are especially needed).

Please do not shop for women's size 6 shoes at this time, as we have an abundance of that size already.

Your generosity can help a student walk into the new school year feeling prepared and proud.

Drop off donations at 1203 N 6th Street in St. Joseph, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.

Does your organization/group want to help collect shoes for Soles for Christ? Contact [email protected].

Thank you for helping us put shoes on young feet and hope in young hearts!
