Christ Child Society of Texas,

Capital Area

 

Layette Program

Since 2002, the Christ Child Society's Texas, Capital Area Chapter has provided layettes for the newborns that are in need through various agencies. The Layette package consist of hand sewn or crocheted blanket or quilt, receiving blankets, bath towel and washcloth, bath soap, onesies, sleepers, burp cloths, socks, diapers and a book or toy. Brochures on Shaken Baby Syndrome are also included in English and Spanish.

 

Our society members buy supplies, hand sew or crochet blankets. We also accept layette donations from the community and are always looking for more volunteers to help us hand sew or crochet blankets. The society members meet and assemble these items into layettes, and distribute them to the Children's Hospital of Austin and Lifeline. Layettes are also distributed to the Gabriel Project who then distributes them through the many parishes in the Austin Diocese.

 

Since our first layette assembly in 2002, over 1000 layettes have been distributed.

 

 

Bereavement Gowns “Angel Gowns”

Since 2002, the Christ Child Society's Texas, Capital Area society members have hand sewn “Angel Gowns”. The gowns, a bonnet, small blanket and hand embroidered overlay are given as gifts of love and comfort to parents whose infant has passed away. The gowns are currently being distributed through the Children’s Hospital of Austin with plans to expand to other area hospitals.
