Miriam Ministry empowers parents and caretakers of Washington County, Georgia children with essential items that will enable their families to be successful during the earliest phase of a child’s life. Miriam Ministry specifically provides diapers, age-appropriate books and developmental toys to infants ages newborn through age 2. These items help meet the financial needs today and help enable disadvantaged children to become healthier physically, mentally and spiritually.

Working with local service organizations to distribute our packages and diapers, in its first two years, Miriam Ministry delivered over 80,000 diapers, over 1,600 books and over 900 toys. Our distribution partners include local pediatricians, health and welfare agencies, our local hospital, churches and law enforcement, who graciously and diligently deliver Miriam Ministry packages to those in need.

Miriam Ministry has grown each month thanks to the generosity of our community and the passion of our Board and volunteers. We are changing the conversation about early childhood development and literacy, in both the homes of families and in the larger community, by recognizing the needs of our families of young children.

Miriam Ministry, since it began in early 2022, has already touched the lives of over 200 children. It intends to make a measurable difference in our community’s physical health, its literacy and early child development.
