The first month of life is the most vulnerable period for newborns. Our layette program provides parents with a diaper bag filled with newborn necessities they can use to support the health and well-being of children at the beginning of their lives.
-
Before a family leaves the hospital with their newborn, they must have a car seat to get their newborn home safely -- but not every family has the means to purchase one. Our car seat program provides convertible car seats to families so they can safely transport their child from day one through preschool.

Scholarships: Breaking the Cycle of Generational PovertyWhen parents achieve their academic goals, they gain knowledge, experience, and opportunities that can help them provide a better life for their children. Our scholarship program provides financial resources to single parents so they can pursue higher education and set an example of success for their children.

News & Notes
Bernina Omaha graciously opened its doors to Christ Child Omaha to host these sewing events as we work toward meeting the goal of creating over 2,200 blankets in 2026.
Christ Child Society of Omaha Auxiliaries are welcoming groups of women who turn compassion into action. With more than 140 members across five auxiliaries, volunteers support local children and families through hands-on programs like newborn layettes, literacy initiatives, car seat distributions, and parent scholarships.
During Catholic Schools Week, the community at Mary Our Queen Catholic School truly lived out its mission of service by collecting an incredible 27,000+ diapers for CCSO. This remarkable effort will directly support mothers and babies in need throughout the Omaha community.
We are happy to announce Sarah Macdissi, Raye Nord, Kristin Pratt and Quinn Siner as our newest Board members. They each bring to us their unique experiences to serve and provide value enhance Christ Child Society of Omaha.
Founded in 1906, Christ Child Society of Omaha began with a simple but powerful act of service. Inspired by meeting national founder Mary Virginia Merrick, Stella (Hamilton) Stapleton established the Omaha chapter as an outgrowth of the Catholic Sewing Mission School at Sacred Heart Academy (now Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart). What began with volunteers sewing layettes for newborns soon grew into something much larger.
We are proud to partner with these local organizations
