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. See below a list of recommended items to utilize in your Blessing Bags.

What Do I Do With The Blessing Bags After I Make Them: We recommend that everyone fill up multiple bags, and have them readily accessible, to hand out in the community, as you drive about your day.

There are many ways to distribute the bags, such as simply handing one to someone at an intersection, who is clearly seeking assistance.  Stopping by your neighborhood community youth center is another great way to provide assistance, and/or a kind word to someone who may need to hear it at that very moment.

Cans, bottles, boxes, and other large or heavy donations are not recommended, except as appropriate on a case by case basis. Any surplus and/or large or heavy supplies should be delivered to area food banks and pantries, who generally serve the community for free.
