St. Paul’s partners with community groups serving young families and new moms to provide diapers at local events. We collect donations of sizes 1-6 and distribute 12 diapers at a time. Diaper need is an invisible part of poverty in the U.S. Did you know?

• 1 in 3 families struggle to afford diapers.
• WIC and SNAP do not allow the purchase of diapers
• Cloth diapers require access to laundry that poverty does not afford

We collect diaper donations every first Sunday of the month (size 4,5,6). Your financial donation also provides for the purchase of diapers. Thank you! The Diaper Ministry at St. Paul’s began in 2021 and we continue to explore its potential. Our current partners include: EPEL (Elgin Partnership for Early Learning), Northern Illinois Food Bank, Elgin YWCA and Well Child Center
