Examples of previous goody bags:

  • A bag lunch consisting of a sandwich, side, drink and dessert

  • Encouraging notes, artwork, or other small activity
  • Hygiene kits - Toothbrushes, soap, travel sized items, combs, hand sanitizer, deodorant, etc. (no mouthwash please)

Please note that this opportunity does not provide any materials. This is an invitation for groups to assemble and deliver donated bags. We sincerely appreciate what you are willing to provide to our residents as they work through their recovery.
