Diaper Drive a Success
The totals are in and I am pleased to report that we collected a whopping 18,500 diapers for our winter 2015 collaborative project of the Diocesan Service Coalition! Well done!
The following churches participated:
- St. Andrew’s, Encinitas
- St. John’s, Chula Vista
- St. David’s, San Diego
- St. Paul’s Cathedral, San Diego
- Christ Church, Coronado
- St. Dunstan’s, San Diego
- St. John’s, Fallbrook
- St. Andrew’s by the Sea, Pacific Beach
- Good Shepherd, Bonita
- Good Shepherd, Hemet
- St Philip’s, Lemon Grive
- All Souls’, Point Loma
- St. Michael’s, Carlsbad
- Holy Cross, Carlsbad
- Good Samaritan, University City
- St. Margaret’s, Palm Desert
This diaper drive was a lovely collaborative effort and a tremendous example of the larger impact we can make when we join forces.
The diapers were distributed primarily via three organizations: Episcopal Community Services, the Episcopal Refugee Network, and Community Christian Service Agency in Clairemont.
Great job, everyone!
