🌲Donate $75 and sponsor a holiday bag for a refugee family. (Or any amount you wish)
🗓Accepting monetary donations through December 23.
This bag has many items for a range of ages and needs. We are working with some great companies to get things at cost and some are sponsoring an item. Best thing is, you don’t have to do any of the shopping. This bag would cost much more without the help of some local businesses. This is an easy way to make a difference.
