PREPARE
BREAKFAST BAGS for our shut-ins.
This
is a fun project for groups of all ages. Each breakfast bag
can contain any of these items: packets of hot or cold cereals, breakfast
bars, individual servings of fruit and/or
juices.
Please be sure to use a clear
plastic bag so we can see the contents.
Because some shut-ins can't eat certain foods, we need
to see what we're sending to them.
Most
importantly, please enclose a hand-made card, picture or note
letting the shut-ins know they are thought of.
You can sign your name and the name of your school or
Youth Group. (Our client/friends love to hang these notes on
their refrigerators!) Bags can be sealed with a twist-tie or
colored ribbon.
We rely on
volunteers to help support our Breakfast Bag Program.
Our shut-ins love these little treats and it encourages
them to eat the most important meal of the day,breakfast!
A
breakfast bag consists of 4 or 5 non-perishable items such as:
*miniature cereal
boxes
*tea bags, instant coffee
*juice
cartons
*boxes of raisins
*oatmeal packets
*pudding or fruit cups
*cereal bars/granola bars
*packs of peanut butter crackers
Please
Don't include any of the
following:
*fresh fruit
*muffins or danish
*applesauce cups with aluminum tops (which can be easily punctured)
If
you prefer, LUNCHEON BAGS can be
made with items such as: individually packaged cookies, crackers and cheese,
crackers and peanut butter, individual containers of fruit, applesauce, jello,
packets of raisins, energy bars. Use your imagination.
What would you like to receive in a luncheon bag? As
above, the shut-ins always enjoy receiving a handmade greeting card, telling
them we were thinking about them and wishing them well.
To
volunteer to do any of these youth activities, either individually or as a
group, please contact Vince Sample, Youth
Coordinator at Aid For Friends, 215-464-2224.
