The Diaper Angels
The Diaper Angels mission is committed to working to end diaper need in our local communities. The Diaper Angels partner with local organizations such as food pantries, free stores and shelters, to provide diapers to families in need.
Diapers are collected through donations and diaper drives, and are organized at the church and then distributed to various partner agencies in the area. Donations of diapers and wipes are always needed and can be dropped off to the Jerome Church front porch at any time. Volunteers are needed to help with collection, sorting, distribution, and other tasks including seeking funding opportunities and new partner agencies.
Miracle on William Street
During November, Jerome Church partners with the Common Ground Free Store to provide Christmas gifts for families through the Miracle on William Street in Delaware, Ohio. Additional volunteers are needed for this special event to assist families as they shop for Christmas gifts. Sign ups are available online and in-person beginning in October.
