Last week while I was shopping at Target I found some adorable Valentine gift bags. I would normally insert a picture here but my computer is apparently having a difficult start to the day. These bags will be filled with Valentine goodies and delivered to the families staying at the Children's House this year. These families are in need of some love and comfort. I am inviting others to share love with these families this year. I am hoping to fill 22 bags. I am currently accepting donations of items such as:
red/pink Crystal light packs of Pink Lemonade or Fruit Punch
small boxes of those sweet little heart candies or red hot hearts
pink or red gum (big Red or pink bubblegum)
red or pink nail polish
pink colored lip gloss
red pens
word search books
small bottles of lotion
Heart shaped lollipops
chocolate
small bottles of Starbucks coffee or individual cocoa, coffee, tea.
tissues
Valentine themed picture books that a parent and child could read together
you get the idea...
There are no wrong answers here folks, I am open to other wonderful ideas that you may have in mind. Target and Michaels both had a great selection of items in their 1$sections.
The PICU is requesting donations of fleece blankets (particularly those that are colorful and kid themed. There are even kits sold at most craft stores which makes a great project for kids to make)
character themed stickers
infant onesies and clothing
tissues
character themed bandaids
We will also accept monetary donations to purchase these items for the bags and the PICU. All checks can now be made payable to The Rays of Sunshine Foundation!
Hurting hearts will be so touched by these bags filled with love and comfort items on Valentine's Day. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
Keep in mind...Mother's Day is right around the corner and we will be filling bags at that time as well. I would welcome help to think of ideas for those bags as well.
