In a “People Helping People” project, members of the Catholic Family Fraternal of Texas-KJZT Holy Family Society #188 Taft sponsored a diaper drive in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Organizers of the event reached out to members of Holy Family Church by advertising in the bulletin; via Facebook posts and e-mail to get out the request for the needed diapers.
A whopping 1550 diapers were either shipped or donated directly and collected at the Church, most of which was the much-needed sizes of 4 through 6.
The Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend in Portland was the lucky recipient of this worthwhile project.
CFFT-KJZT State Director, Betty Vacek, along with Junior Director Marie Devos and her children Joseph Paul, Gemma, E.C. and Wyatt delivered the diapers right after Mother’s Day.
“We were so happy to be able to help the Pregnancy Center in this way with an item that is so needed,” Vacek said. "We plan to make this a yearly project."
