Thank you to Persisterhood of Saint Joseph, Missouri for choosing to help our organization with a drive-thru donation event for diapers and infant hygiene products!

We are in need of diapers (especially larger sizes), as well as wipes, powder, and diaper-rash ointment.

Learn more below about the donation event!

~~~

Persisterhood of Saint Joseph, Missouri volunteers will be collecting women's menstrual items as well as and diapers and infant hygiene products in a donation drive-thru on Saturday, March 7 from 11 am to 1 pm. The event will occur in the parking lot on 10th Street adjacent to First Christian Church, located at the corner of 10th and Faraon in St. Joseph. Volunteers will also be on hand to explain and collect signatures for the "Respect MOVoters" petition drive.

Diaper and infant hygiene products donated at the drive will all go to the Diaper Depot at AFL-CIO's Community Services. “The birth of a child should be celebrated, not overshadowed by financial hardship. Yet for many vulnerable families, the cost of diapers creates ongoing stress. Diaper Depot helps alleviate that burden by providing free diapers and hygiene items to those who need them most. By hosting a diaper drive, partners like Persisterhood make this possible by ensuring that families can experience the early years of a child’s life with dignity, stability, and hope,” said Nichi Seckinger, Community Services Director.

The donated women's hygiene products will go to Sparkle Peach, Inc.--whose founder, Ann Irvin, will be helping at the drive-thru. Irvin created "Sparkle Peach, Inc" in St. Joseph in 2019 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Together with volunteers, professional nurses, and counselors, she provides women’s menstrual hygiene products to those who need them, and helps to educate girls about menstrual hygiene, infection prevention, available products and related health questions.

In the midst of winter, many people in our community are struggling to stay warm. Through our agency's Seasonal Services program, we offer space heaters to those in need. However, a lot of people need help, and we need donations.

Space heaters can be dropped off at the agency, 1203 N 6th St., Monday through Friday.

Donations can also be made through our Amazon Wist List (QR code below).

If you cannot donate heaters but still want to help, we also accept monetary donations (QR code below).

Help others in the community stay warm this winter!

This year marked an incredible milestone for the Adopt-A-Family Christmas Program; more than 100,000 individuals have been adopted since the program began back in 1983!

We couldn’t do this without the community. Your kindness and generosity continue to make a real difference, year after year.

As we look back on 43 years of Adopt-A-Family, we’re excited to keep this tradition going and continue supporting neighbors who need it most.
