Extra Diapers? Adult and Child Diaper Ministry in McHenry County Can Put Them to Good Use

Almost at the end of the Marengo Expo was a Diaper Ministry.

I kid you not.

A group at St. Paul Espousal Church in McHenry collects them in a Collection Box outside their Green Street location a bit north of City Hall and gives them to those who need them.

These diaper ministry folks from St. Paul Episcopal Church traveled from McHenry to participate in the Marengo Business Expo

“We do it for adults, too,” one person told me as I tried to comprehend their message.

I was told that diaper ministries are not unique to McHenry County, but this is the only one that supplies diapers to adults in need.

As I was leaving, they gave me this magnet and told me that they can make good use of a partial bag of diapers when a child has become potty trained.

Information on about the diaper ministry is contained on this magnet.


There’s a button about the ministry right on top of the church web site.

  1. Fthr. Swarthout helped to start this ministry at St. Paul’s almost two years ago.

    It is an amazing program.

    Local businesses have helped to bring it forward and provide storage.

    What a great way to meet the needs of the ever growing number of young families in need with the current recession.
