Challenging Poverty One Child at a Time

The Christ Child Society of Akron is a volunteer organization dedicated to serving the needs of the children of Akron, Ohio.

We work in partnership with other organizations and agencies to give love and basic support to children lacking the basic necessities of life.

Christ Child Society of Akron's 300 volunteer members come from various faith traditions and walks of life, but know that all children deserve dignity if their lives are to have purpose and meaning.

“Take my hands and let them work for you; take my mind, my memory, my will and make me use them all to do Your will on earth.”
