Deacon Lou Primozic
I'm In Ministry! Founder
is awarded the
2021 Red Wagon AwardDeacon Lou, I'm In Ministry!, provides delivery and set-up for our twin bed program for children in need of beds.
We could not do this without his generous help.
He not only assists with delivery and set-up but goes well beyond and provides pillows, additional bedding, furniture and household items as needed to the families receiving our beds. Those families become part of
"I'm In Ministry!" family through a program called Compassionate Care and will be contacted for any future needs.
Deacon Lou and I'm In Ministry!
are instrumental in helping us
"Challenge Childhood Poverty in Greater Cleveland"
Thank you Deacon Lou & I'm In Ministry!

IMPACT OF OUR ORGANIZATION
Last year, working with over 80 social service agencies, healthcare facilities, and schools in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties, the Christ Child Society of Cleveland touched the lives of nearly 7,000 children and their families through our nine programs. The generous support of our donors and over 12,000 volunteer hours from our members made it possible.

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."
