Department of Children and Families.

Jaxon in Action partners with the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) to support families in need through our annual diaper drive, a tradition Jaxon started. Each year, we collect diapers at our Barnum office and donate them to DCF, helping ensure children have the essentials they need to thrive.

In 2025, because of so many people’s generosity, we were able to support Hartford DCF, Norwalk DCF, and Madonna’s Place. Through both monetary gifts and physical donations, more than $16,000 worth of diapers, wipes, ointment, and formula was collected. This is doubling the donations we raised from 2024!

In 2024, we proudly raised a total of 19,790 diapers and over $8,000 in diapers and essential supplies combined for the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Following that achievement, in 2025 we’ve partnered with the Barnum Foundation for Life to grow the Diaper Drive.
