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.” |
layette cards for mother’s dayWhat do you give to that special person in your life that has everything? How about a donation to the Christ Child Layette program with a Layette Card? It is a gift given in honor of your loved one, which provides a needy child with essential clothing and a warm, handmade blanket. Donations are often given in honor of a birthday, anniversary, or in memory of a loved one. Click here to order. |
It’s time for Our Annual School Supplies Drive, May 13-17! 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.
