50,000 DIAPERS DISTRIBUTED
The Diaper Bag Ministry, which began just over a year ago, through the vision of the Missions Team at Christ Fellowship Church of Monticello, has now distributed well over 50,000 diapers to our community partners. And this much needed ministry continues to grow.
“We have seen God’s Hands all over this effort from day one,” Missions Chair Shari Moore said. “God has blessed this ministry and blessed us in so many ways through it. And the support we continue to receive from the communities it serves is amazing!”
The goal of the ministry is to alleviate the diaper need in our community so all babies have the chance to be healthy, happy and safe.
“There is an ever-increasing need in this area for diapers and wipes,” CFC Pastor Bob Ehle said. “We simply stepped out in obedience to God’s call to help out. And He has shown up, through many people and organizations in the community, to provide the resources to help this ministry continue to grow.”
The mission of the Diaper Bag Ministry is to compliment social service agencies. Diapers and wipes are provided to:
-All White County food pantries
-The nurses clinics of Monon and Wolcott
-WIC in White and Carroll Counties
-Flora Food Pantry
-Project Sprout
-White County Department of Child Services
-Mobile Nurses Clinic Pantry in Monon
All last year, which was the first year of the ministry, over 35,000 diapers were distributed. In just over three months this year, the number is already over 15,000.
The need for the diapers and wipes is increasing and the need for additional support is also growing.
A huge thanks goes out to our financial partners: CFC, Community Foundation of White County, Tri Kappa, Delta Theta Tau, Rotary, IU Health, Walmart, Greens and Beans customers, Ace Hardware customers, and Extra Scoop customers.
Donations of diapers and wipes have been by First Merchants Bank, Goal Getters 4H Club, CFC, and numerous individuals.
Labor to bundle diapers has also been donated by the Christ Fellowship Church Mission team members, a member of Tri Kappa, Goal Getter 4H club and a nurse who supports our mission.

-pray for the ministry and those who are receiving the resources
-reach out to any CFC member or message us through Facebook messenger

WHAT AN AMAZING FIRST YEAR!
As of the first of the year, the CFC Diaper Bag Ministry is just under a year old. And what a first year it has turned out to be. With God at the helm, this ministry has already distributed over 35,000 diapers through our various community partners! The Diaper Bag Ministry began with funding from Christ Fellowship Church and donations from its members. It has grown to include the two grants from the Community Foundation of White County, a donation from Delta Theta Tau Sorority, the Chi Chapter, one from the Tri Kappa Sorority along with a diaper drive at First Merchants Bank - Monticello.
You, along with your business or organization are also invited to join us in this ongoing effort to serve those in need of these valuable resources in White and also in Carroll Counties. You can contribute to the Diaper Bag Ministry by using donation boxes at CFC, Ace Hardware, Greens and Beans, The Edge Sportsplex, and Extra Scoop. In addition, if you would like to donate diapers and wipes, or if you would like to make a financial contribution, contact Pastor Bob, Shari Moore, the CFC Mission’s Chair through Ace Hardware in Monticello, or any CFC member.
