On May 17th after Liturgy we will be assembling Kindness Bags.
The idea behind the Kindness bags (or blessing bags) for the homeless are small, portable care packages filled with essential toiletries, non-perishable food, and comfort items. They aim to provide immediate relief for daily needs, acknowledge the recipient's humanity with dignity, and offer a simple, actionable way to show compassion.
We will put together 200 1-gallon bags that parishioners can take and keep in their car for when they encounter someone in need, as we all do on a daily basis. We will include an icon card with a note of encouragement.
Below is a link to an Amazon gift list. We are asking Philoptochos members as well as parishioners to once again show your generosity and purchase an item for the Kindness Bags.
All items purchased will be shipped directly to me.
If you can do so, we thank you for your love, support and compassion. As this is what makes us Philoptochos, it’s what we do.
Thanks so much! 😊
