My Stuff Bags is a project that the Westlake Village Sunrise Rotary Club completed in January for an organization called “My Stuff Bags”. It is a local organization with a nationwide outreach and the club has been working with them over the past several years to support their mission.
 
My Stuff bags are bright blue individual duffels filled with brand new age and gender, appropriate toys, books, a stuffed animal, school supplies, clothing, personal toiletries and a warm (often hand-made) "security blanket" that is all theirs to keep. My Stuff Bags provide things to do and to hold during a difficult time.

This year there was a particular need for fleece blankets for the many bags that are to be distributed. This need provided an opportunity to create a "hands-on" project in a safe environment while many of the club's members continue to remain at home during COVID challenges.  And so was born the WLV Sunrise Blanket Brigade!
Their Community Service Committee purchased and picked up bolts of material from downtown Los Angeles, cut and prepared the fabric for door-to-door drop-off (complete with "how-to" instructions) to many of their members and family members who created approximately 100 adorable no-sew blankets for "My Stuff Bags" to be included in bags.
