Information about this project can be found at "Giving Doll, inc" The program has expanded to several states.
The Giving Doll Inc. — in the event you’ve missed hearing about this wonderful ministry in past columns — was founded by Wadsworth native Jan Householder, who has copyrighted a personalized, soft cloth doll that is replicated by area volunteers for distribution to children going through difficult times. Doll quilts are also included with the doll.
The group’s mission is “to give faith, love, hope, joy and comfort to children at times of special need.”
Householder said the project was started “to give dolls to children dealing with cancer. The organization’s mission has since broadened to include children whose families have been left homeless, child victims who receive dolls through police and fire departments, dolls given to children whose parents are being deployed into combat zones and others.
“So far, the Giving Doll Inc. [in six years] has distributed nearly 12,000 dolls to children in every state and 28 foreign countries.”
