(Perfect opportunity for students, school clubs, youth groups, and anyone needing community service hours!)
Description:
Creating Hope Bags is a simple and powerful way to bring dignity and encouragement to our housing-challenged neighbors. Each bag contains everyday essentials like hygiene items, socks, snacks, and encouraging notes. Volunteers can either assemble complete bags or donate items for us to include.
Suggested Items for Hope Bags:
• Toothbrush & toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Soap or body wipes
• Socks
• Granola bars or shelf-stable snacks
• Bottled water
• Travel-size shampoo or lotion
• A handwritten encouragement note ❤️
Please avoid unsealed liquids unless they are securely packaged.
How to Help:
• Collect items with your school, workplace, or community group.
• Assemble Hope Bags at home, at your church, or with a team of friends.
• Drop off items or completed bags to City Missions. (email admin@citymissions.org to coordinate)
Impact:
Every Hope Bag is a reminder that our friends are seen, loved, and not forgotten. Small items placed together in love can open the door to life-changing conversations and hope.
