Revitalized Annual Christmas Hygiene Bags and more
Donation protected
Hey All,
It’s been five years since we did this. Although we just had a spontaneous Thanksgiving drive success above this goal.
So what we and you do: we gather funds and direct item donations to build hygiene bags for the homeless and in-need folks. We also will spend a portion of the donations towards toys for homeless and in-need children. Other donations include used blankets, coats, hoodies, hats, gloves, and backpacks of every type.
On Christmas Eve, we gather all the donations and purchased goods from financial donations and build the bags. Typically, they all have soap, shampoo, razors, shaving cream, nail clippers, combs, brushes, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, gloves, hat, socks, underwear, and some “hot hands” warmers. We also create women-specific bags for those needs as well.
Everything helps. If you have physical donations, work with me for pick-up and delivery. If you would rather buy something on Amazon and ship, work with me so we don’t have lopsided bags—all shampoos and no toothpaste.
Our record was 220 complete bags plus other stuff. Give what you can. Much love.
