Club Brings Joy to Community Through Christmas Blessing Bags
Members of the Crystal Coast Republican Women (NC) collected and donated items to fill Christmas Blessing Bags. The bags were then delivered to men's and women's shelter, and to other charities throughout the county.
Caring For America Chairman DeDe Worley organized a mass collection of items to donate to local shelters. Through the Christmas Blessing Bags effort our members were able to donate and deliver personal items to those in need. This effort included:
- Over 600 plastic bags delivered to Martha's Cupboard
- 150 plastic bags delivered to Hope Mission
- 10 Christmas Gift Bags with women's toiletries, footies, and a Christmas card delivered to the Miriam House
- 12 canvas bags delivered to the men's shelter at Hope Mission; an additional bag of miscellaneous men's items was given to be distributed to the organization's other 3 housing locations
- 17 canvas bags delivered to the women's housing
There was a tremendous need this year, and CCRW members stepped up to help our community.
