Most of you know that I am passionate about helping the homeless. This lays heavy on my heart. I had the privilege to read a blog that really spoke to my heart. The basic concept is to make "blessed to bless bags" to hand out to the homeless. I have decided to adopt this idea and would love for some of you to get involved as well, if you are called to. Please feel free to read this blog to get a better idea of what a blessed to bless bag is. http://www.joyshope.com/2010/11/i-heart-big-hearts.htm l am accepting donations to start making these bags to hand out. If you have anything you would like to donate, please let me know. I will gladly accept anything, but here is an idea of somethings that I am looking for:
1 gallon ziplock bags
juice boxes
sample size items, such as shampoo, soap, tooth paste, lotion, deodorant, wipes, cough drops, etc.
peanut butter crackers
small cans of food that has a pull top on it (fruits, canned meats, veggies)
Cheese and crackers
Power bar
Tuna in a bag (no cans requiring an opener)
Vienna sausages
Beef jerky
granola bars, nutrigrain bars
socks
gloves
hats
scarves
lip balm
Small Bibles or Bible tracts
The list could go on! Any of the basic needs that someone may need out of the streets. Thank you in advance for helping with this very worthy cause. Now let's go out there and start blessing some people!!!! ;)

Ha ha, don't doubt me! ;) Thanks for helping out. The good news is, I finally got an email saying I had a comment on here. Wahoo! So I guess I'll get this page right, slowly but surely.
This is great, I knew a girl in Hawaii that did this every year to the homeless on the beaches......
