Here is the photo when we dropped the sleeping bags off at Nourish NJ on behalf of Schooley’s Mt. Ecclesia. They were so, SO excited the sleeping bags were rated for sub-zero temperatures. Nourish NJ badly needed cold-weather sleeping bags. Before we dropped these 20 sleeping bags off they had nothing to keep the homeless …

A few members of the Baltimore-Washington CYC, visited the Stepping Stones Shelter in Rockville, MD, to donate the sleeping bags. We were met outside by the executive director who was very grateful for the bags. This shelter provides housing for families affected by homelessness.

We donated 3 of the sleeping bags to a family in need. The other 17 we donated to a community kitchen that provides food and shelter to the homeless. Everyone was so grateful.

The Sisters of the Simi Hills Ecclesia (Southern California) were able to deliver 40 Bags of Love/Care Packages to Interface Children and Family Services a few days before Christmas. Interface supports six different shelters in our county; some of the shelters are for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, and some are for youth …

Because I work with elderly/disabled in subsidized housing, I’m in continual contact with our local service agencies and their case managers. I knew right away who could and would distribute the sleeping bags most effectively to the people who needed them the most. The Greater Nashua Mental Health Center works with clients both staying in …

Bags of love was a perfect initiative for our family. We had seen a “Care-a-van” out and about supporting people affected by homelessness and those at risk of homeless in our area. They have medical staff and are all volunteers. They rely heavily on donations and were thrilled to be offered these ‘bags of love’. …

Our tiny (10 member) ecclesia decided to participate in the sleeping bag project last year. I contacted the Water Street Mission, which has been in Lancaster forever—used to be called the Water Street Rescue Mission—, and they were delighted to accept the bags. My husband and I delivered the bags in the middle of December, …

Our donation was very low key and uneventful. We didn’t get pictures as it was literally dropping them at the back door of the Ray of Hope centre- covid restriction meant we couldn’t go in or interact with anyone. I chose this organization as their mission is to demonstrate the love of Christ by: investing …
