On Thursday, May 5th, Hands4Hope Team Hope and Team Dream met to assemble emergency bags for children who are removed from their homes and placed into Foster Care.
The evening went quicker than we expected. Our youth worked efficiently as a team to get the bags put together. They decided to have toiletries, a pair of pajamas or a nightgown, a new outfit, a new pair of underwear, and a new pair of socks in each bag.
The event wrapped up well when a foster mom, Bonnie, came in and talked about how important these bags are to the children who receive them. She explained how these children are taken very quickly from their homes and do not have time to take any of their belongings. Bonnie explained the process of foster care and talked about her own experiences with the children she has worked with over the years.
Bonnie also started an organization to make these bags for the foster children. Together, Hands4Hope kids made more than 75 bags to distribute to youth around the county.
