What items can I donate to build a Help Bag?
The items in a Help Bag are inexpensive and readily available.
* Individually wrapped snacks. Cracker packs ( like Lance Crackers), cookie packs, 100 calorie packs, anything along those lines. Two are in every Help Bag so a total of 200 of these are needed for 100 Help Bags…aka – can always use some for my stock pile of Lance : ) No chocolate or anything that can melt tho please. : )
* Band-aids. Two boxes of 50 count Band-aids from the Dollar General fills all 100 bags!!
* Moist Towelettes. These have been more difficult to acquire because store to store they appear in completely different aisles. The most common brand is Wet Ones! and I have found coupons for them in the past. Individually wrapped of course : )
* New men’s white socks. They can be used for men or women.
* Tuna. The small tuna cans that can be snap top opened, the envelope type packets, or the crem de la crem- the tuna cracker pillow pack made by Bumble Bee that includes that include crackers and sometimes even a little mandrin orange container!
*Individually wrapped Tylenol type product. I get them at Sam’s – in a box of 50. Two boxes cover all 100 Help Bags.
I would like to get One Day Bus or Train tickets in the next Help Bags if at all possible too.
If you would like to donate any of these items please contact me via the contact area of this site and I will be happy to make pick up arrangements! No item too small or unappreciated!!
