Thanksgiving “Blessing Bags”

QUICK OVERVIEW:
As an alternative to our Annual “Homeless Feeding and Banner Creation”, O.I.F. volunteers will assist in creating Thanksgiving “Blessing Bags”. Bring the holidays to those who may not otherwise celebrate such ~ whether by intention, lack of means or circumstance ~ due to homelessness, loneliness, despair, apathy, disabilities, poverty, lack of family, or perceived lack of deservedness.

IMPACT:
This project benefits children who are abused, neglected, abandoned, orphaned, developmentally-disabled or learning-disabled, homeless, runaways esp. those who are LGBTQ, or children whose lives have been adversely impacted by HIV / AIDS and homeless adults. Volunteers will help a less fortunate or disadvantaged child or homeless adult feel that they are deserving and worthy of attention, care and celebration. And, enhance and strengthen their self-worth and dignity.

VOLUNTEER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Volunteers will fill holiday-themed bags with various items, such as socks, granola bars, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand-sanitizer, etc.
Time Commitment: 3 hour (minimum)
Requirements: No special skills or experience required except an open heart and playful spirit!
PLEASE NOTE: Mandatory Minimum Participation Fee of $5.00 per person
