Impact of Our Organization
Last year, working with over 30 social service agencies, healthcare facilities, and schools in Lake County, the Christ Child Society of the Western Reserve touched the lives of over 4,500 children and their families through our 13 programs. The generous support of our donors and over 24,000 volunteer hours from our over 200 members made this possible.
Our Projects and Activities are entirely accomplished by volunteer members of our Chapter. For more information see the Membership Page
The society operates The Clothing Cottage. You are invited to come to the store to donate or to purchase gently used clothing, shoes, purses and jewelry. Located in the Pastina Rustic Italian strip plaza (across from the Mentor Walmart and Murphy USA gas station) the shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Challenging Poverty One Child at a Time
As a national non-profit organization,
we have dedicated ourselves to making a difference in the lives of at-risk children for 131 years.
Our 6,000 members in nearly 50 chapters across 20 states are driven by
faith, love, and a desire to change the futures of children in need.
We are guided by a common mission, namely,
seeing the Christ Child in every child,
but we respond to the needs of each community in unique ways.
We remain eternally resourceful, abiding by
one of our guiding principles; "Find a need and fill it."
We are continually moved to action by the words
of our founder, Mary Virginia Merrick, who said;
"Nothing is ever too much to do for a child."
