Big week for the little bags!! We’re in the news
What a big week for our little Help Bags!
Wednesday August 5th the Charlotte Observer featured an article about Help Bags http://www.charlotteobserver.com/408/story/870618.html and on September 4th at 5pm Help Bags will be on the Link Leading Lady section of the Matt and Ramona show on Charlotte radio station 107.9 The Link!! WOWOWOW!!
People have asked me – are you ready for the big increase of donations this could bring? I giggle – you bet we are!!! Big donations = big help for those in need!
If you like to know how you can help Help Bags there is a ton of options!
#1 – Host a Help Bags Drive at your work, school or church. The items needed can be found on this website under the green tab DONATE. These items are:
* individually wrapped snacks like lance crackers, small chip or pretzels bags, etc
* band-aids
* individually wrapped moist towelettes
**** men’s new white socks****
* individually wrapped Tylenol type product ( doesn’t have to be that brand- there are cheaper ones!)
* gallon sized Ziploc (any brand) bags
* hot packs, like those hunters use for feet and hands for the winter months
Items must be individually wrapped so they can be placed in the individual bags for distribution.
#2 Be an Army of one.
The donation you give is the one we need. There is no such thing as too small or too large a donation. 100% of funds and products given to Help Bags go to those in need. The address of where to mail any donations is on the site under the orange Contact Us tab. Or if you are in the Charlotte area I may be able to make arrangements to pick up any item from you.
