Blessing Bags for the Homeless

In support of the LWML convention, Lydia Ladies is collecting items to create Blessing Bags that can be kept in a car and shared when an opportunity arises to help someone in need. These bags offer nourishment, small comforts, and a reminder that they are seen and valued.

Please help us by bringing items by Sunday, April 19 and dropping them off in the Narthex. Bring items such as:

·       Canned soups with pop-top lids (for example, Progresso)

·       Vienna sausages

·       Granola bars

·       Bottled water

·       Boxed raisins

·       Peanut or other nut packages

·       Fruit cups

·       Cheese and cracker packs

·       To-go peanut butter packs

·       Tuna pouches

·       Tuna and cracker packs

·       Fruit snacks

·       Wrapped candy (no chocolate)

·       Kind bars

·       Bandages

·       Gallon-sized zip-top bags (for assembling the bags)

Small devotional booklets (Portals of Prayer, Daily Bread, etc.) from any date are also welcome.

Blessings on your day!
