Join Community Impact in serving abused and neglected children by creating an Overnight Bag for kids entering emergency foster care! These children are often forced to leave their home without the opportunity to take any belongings and would benefit greatly from your donation!
Listed below are some of the items that you may chose to fill your overnight bags with. For the toiletry items, travel size or regular size items are acceptable. You do not have to include the entire list in each bag; this is just an example of the types of things to be included.
Please do not include any medications or products that contain alcohol.
The children range in age 11 – 17 years.
All purpose overnight bag or small size duffel bag
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Journal and pen or pencil
Bath Soap
Shampoo & Conditioner (or two-in-one product)
Wash cloth
Non-perishable snack (such as fruit roll-ups)
Chewing gum
Playing cards
Easy crossword puzzle or word puzzle
book
It would also be great if you could include a note of encouragement for your foster child to make the bag more personal and meaningful in reminding them that they are loved and cared for, despite how alone they might feel.
Commuters can drop off their bags in the Student Ministries Office (in the Lew) or at the coffee house on October 24th from 9:00 pm - 1:00 am in Johnson Hall and receive a free dessert!
Students living in residence halls can create bags together with their floors or give bags to their RA! The floor that creates the most bags will be given a Ice Cream Float party! The winner will be announced at the coffee house!
