What Are Blessing Bags: Blessing Bags are plastic or paper bags, boxes, totes, etc., which are filled with miniature (small), individually-wrapped items, which are easily usable. 

What To Do With Blessing Bags: We recommend that you fill up multiple bags, and have them readily accessible in your car to hand out in your community, as you drive about your day. Click here for ideas on where to hand out Blessings Bags, and how to make a difference in your community.
