Love Bags

 Our first Lend-A-Hand activity for 2019 will take place on Tuesday 2/19 from 5:45pm-7pm<x-apple-data-detectors://0>at Harvest.  For this activity, we will be making Love Bags for homeless children in Burlington, Camden & Philadelphia counties.
Love Bags consist of the following:

 *   A pair of gender neutral socks
 *   A stuffed animal
 *   A Toothbrush
 *   A small coloring book
 *   Small pack of crayons
 *   An inspirational note
The Supplies needed for this project:

 *   100 pair of socks (gender neutral ideally)
 *   100 stuffed animals – no pillow pets, only slightly larger than a beanie baby (must be new)
 *   100 Toothbrushes – these have been donated by my company
 *   100 packs of crayons (4 crayons per pack)
 *   100 small coloring books
 *   Construction paper & markers to make notes
 *   100 gift bags

Our goal is to make at least 100 Love Bags for the children.  However, I’d ideally like to exceed this number.


The organization we will be partnering with is Hand N Hearts.  This organization is based in Mount Laurel and focuses on homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness and children in foster care in the south Jersey and Philadelphia areas.  Here is their website for more information: https://www.handnhearts.org/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.handnhearts.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cawebb%40saratogabenefits.com%7Ce99ba8d36995492850e708d682cae0b3%7C6989b31f6e984141bb9bb6ab15bc5e52%7C0%7C0%7C636840205199850714&sdata=hk3cYDl%2FapBnQdhaZxuN3SeMkDXUX8fEcyw3X0ISjuk%3D&reserved=0>

If you have any children, who’d like to help out with this project, we need note writers and little artists to make the bags complete.
If you, your company or someone you know, would like to donate the items above please email me, Maddie Webb atstmrw02@gmail.com<mailto:stmrw02@gmail.com>.
Please note:  Due to space restrictions at Harvest, this will be an AMP Rotary event only.  It is not open to the public.


Thank you!
