Diaper & Wipes Drive for Maternity Care Coalition

First Church will be collecting diapers and wipes to donate to MCC from February 2 through February 23 to support the Maternity Care Coalition. All sizes of diapers are needed, though smaller sizes (N, 1, and 2 in many brands) are especially appreciated. Diapers can also be out of their original packaging, so if your child has outgrown a partial box of diapers please feel free to bring it in. Donations can be left in marked bins in Old Buttonwood Hall.

Maternity Care Coalition (MCC) is a Philadelphia-based non-profit that was founded forty years ago to combat infant mortality, which is much higher in Philadelphia than the national average, and much more likely to impact minority communities. MCC’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of pregnant women and parenting families, and to enhance school readiness for children under 3 years of age. MCC conducts 11 different programs and has helped over 135,000 women, babies, and families since its founding.
