Well, the duffel bag drive is officially over now and I just wanted to give everyone a final update. After we sorted through all of the bags (we had to remove a few that were in not-so-gently-used condition), we have 265 duffel bags and backpacks to distribute to kids in foster care!!!
In addition, we have 83 purses and smaller bags (like messenger bags) that are being donated to the Allendale thrift shop. (Allendale Association is one of the three organizations we are donating duffel bags to). In addition to the monetary help that these bags will bring, the thrift shop is used to help give Allendale kids real-world work experience, so these "extra" bags will be a double blessing!
I am so very excited about the success of our first Many Helping Hands project!! I thank each and every one of you for the impact that you've made. We could not have done it without you.
Thanks so much!
Nicole Hewitt.
Donated bags will be distributed to ECFA, Allendale Association and Lydia Home Association.
