Operation Diaper Drop By Sarah Shealy Stump, Christ Church, Coronado T
he diocesan service coalition invites all congregations to participate in Operation Diaper Drop! The diaper drive will benefit ECS’s Head Start programs and will be held on Sunday, January 29. The goal is for each church to hold a diaper drive sometime in January to collect diapers of all sizes. On Sunday, January 29, each church is invited to deliver diapers to a Head Start location to be determined. One easy way to get
started is to ask your congregants to begin collecting diaper coupons from the paper in December and January. For more information, contact Sarah Stump:
