Blessing Bag Item Collection

During these trying times, the number of homeless and people in need are growing. As a way to help, St. Emily’s Women will be making “Blessing Bags”. These are gallon size zip lock bags that are filled with basic toiletries and snacks. These bags will be given to various medical agencies that assists the homeless. This collection runs from March 8 to March 23. Your donations can be placed in the boxes in the church vestibule or by the parish office.

Items that are needed:  

Toiletries- deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, razors, dry shampoo, tissues, feminine hygiene products, hand lotion, lip balm, wipes, band-aids

Hand/feet warmers, gloves

Granola bars, raisin packs, cheese or peanut butter crackers, beef jerky, applesauce, nuts/trail mix

Rolls of coins, small denomination gift cards for McDonalds

Cash donations are always appreciated!

THANK YOU!!!

A huge thank you goes out to Bombas Socks. They have generously donated 500 pairs of socks to our drive. When you need to buy socks, please choose Bombas.

In the past years St. Emily School has made tremendous donations to this drive. Each grade was assigned a specific item to donate. The response has been fabulous! The members of the National Junior Honor Society assembled the bags for donation.
