What We Do
PROVIDE
BASIC RESOURCES
We Believe in "Nothing is ever too much to do for a Child."
According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, about 27 million children in the United States – 38% of all children – live in low-income families.
Most of these children have parents who work, but low wages and unstable employment leave their families struggling to make ends meet. Poverty can impede children’s health, the ability to learn and can create social, emotional, and behavioral problems that can have lasting impact on their future.
Christ Child Society Chapters focus on making a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable among us.
Since 1887, our volunteers have been driven by faith, love and a desire to make a difference. Guided by our founder's motto "to find a need and fill it," we create localized programs and partner with referral agencies to build better communities. Today, nearly 5,000 members from 44 chapters volunteer nearly 400,000 hours and serve more than 97,000 children and their families annually.
Christ Child Society Chapters are empowered to tailor their efforts to meet the unique needs of their local communities. Each chapter provides essential services, such as layettes, clothing, educational resources, and emergency support, to children and families experiencing poverty or hardship.
