Many Christian-based organizations throughout the diocese address the needs of low-income mothers and pregnant women requiring assistance. The groups offer everything from clothing to food, formula, furniture, equipment and counseling. But all of them have a particularly desperate common need - diapers.
"That is our clients' most urgent need," said Sharon Zambrowicz, west-side coordinator of Love Life Ministries in Green Bay. "It's an ongoing need. It's something they use and have to keep using until the child is trained."
Love Life has two locations: on the west side at St. Joseph Church, 926 Ninth St.; and on the east side at Peace United Methodist Church, 919 Schwartz St. From 50 to 75 volunteers staff the centers from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursdays.
