Welcome to the Christ Child Society of Summit

The life of a child is a promise for the future, but for many children their future is at risk. Christ Child Society volunteers reach out to teach, motivate, clothe and care for children in their communities through the initiative of Challenging Poverty: One Child at a Time.

We invite you to view our site and find out more about the society founded by Mary Virginia Merrick and her vision that “the personal element brings true charity to life.”

Thank you to Summit Elks Lodge #1246 for sponsoring Blankets for Babies day at the Elks club on May 16, 2013!

you can still donate to Our Annual School Supplies Drive!

Christ Child Society is partnering with Bridges Outreach to collect and distribute next year’s school supplies for the approximately 500 children in need in the Summit public schools. Last year, we were able to offer supplies and backpacks to over 360 elementary, middle school and high school students, eligible for free or reduced lunch, that attended our distribution in August.

Donations will be accepted at 36 Woodland Avenue in Summit until May 24th.

Please think about helping these children by purchasing some of the following items. We are collecting:

1”, 2”, 3” Binders
3-hole Pencil Cases
Subject Dividers
2-Pocket Folders
Marble Composition Books
Loose Leaf Paper (wide and college ruled)
Spiral Notebooks (wide and college ruled)
