Diaper Drive to Start Soon
August 5, 2011
Between its domestic and international childcare programs, Orphan’s Heart and the Florida Baptist Children’s Homes use nearly 30,000 diapers a month. Together they are conducting a diaper drive to offset significant childcare costs for their foster parents and for the Children’s Malnutrition Center in Guatemala
The goal is to collect a large quantity of disposable diapers for use throughout the year, but it’s really more than just diapers. Defraying the high cost of this one item allows the Children’s Malnutrition Center, in particular, to worry about one less thing, and instead focus their attention more fully on the main reason for its ministry: sharing the love of Christ with children who otherwise might never know it.

If you live in Florida, you can help by actually delivering disposable diapers to any of the Children’s Homes’ six campus locations from September 26 to November 4. CLICK HERE to see a list of campuses. All sizes of diapers are needed, but the greatest need is for size 1-2 and size 3.
However, people can also donate diapers online. Options range from 40 diapers for $8.99 to 300 diapers for $39.97. CLICK HERE to give online.
Everyone who makes an online contribution to the diaper drive or delivers diapers to one of the campus locations can also register for a chance to win a free mission trip to the Children’s Malnutrition Center in Guatemala.
In addition, if a church or organization collects diapers, they can register to win two mission trips for their organization. For more information, e-mail children@FBCHomes.org, or call (863) 687-8811.
As you give, pray for the precious babies who will benefit from the diapers. Pray that these children would grow up to know the God who loves them enough to provide even the smallest of needs for the smallest of bodies.
