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.
