A Legacy of Love.
For 120 years, Christ Child Society of Omaha has quietly supported children and families in our community — one baby, one parent, one small act of love at a time.
We are a volunteer-driven nonprofit made up of people who believe that when we see a need, we respond. And we’ve been doing just that since 1906.
What We Do — Practical Help, Real Impact
When families are stretched thin, even necessities can feel out of reach. Christ Child focuses on meaningful support that brings stability, dignity, and hope.
Scholarships: We provide financial assistance to parents working toward college degrees or professional certifications. In 2025, we awarded $275,000+ to help parents build stronger futures for their families.
Layettes: Each newborn deserves a warm welcome. Last year, our volunteers distributed 2,200 layettes filled with clothing and essential baby items.
Car Seats: Safety matters. We provided 220 high-quality convertible car seats in 2025, helping ensure safe transportation from the very first ride home.
Literacy: Books change lives. We place books into children’s hands and encourage family reading habits that build school readiness and confidence.
-
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.
-
Each year we distribute over 150 high-quality car seats to new and expectant mothers and their infants through approved local agencies. We partner with social service agencies to conduct car seat education and distribution events.
-
Our Scholarship program empowers single parents who have significant financial need by helping them achieve their academic goals, thereby putting them and their families on the path toward independence and success.
-
We provide learning resources for children and parents, including a FREE digital library with hundreds of titles in over 50 languages. Our literacy program also provides books and health literacy resources for parents and English language learners.
