Sponsorship Opportunities
Here at the Christ Child Society of South Bend, we are “challenging poverty, one child at a time” as Mary Virginia Merrick, founder of The Christ Child Society, did beginning in 1887. The need is great. Last year, we provided clothing and layettes to over 5,000 children, including over 240 foster children.
Let Love Shine, our largest fundraising effort, is coming soon. We are asking for your help to carry on our mission of providing new clothing, shoes, coats, gloves and hats to infants and children living in under-resourced homes in St. Joseph County. Our work is solely supported by our community with no government funding. We rely on over 24,000 hours of service by our volunteers as well as the financial support from our donors to continue our operations.
