If you’re looking for an easy way to give back this holiday season, consider collecting small personal care items and compiling “Blessing Bags” for those that are homeless. This is a fun family activity kids can help with, and a perfect way to donate extra free and inexpensive items acquired through couponing during the year.
You can make as many as you’d like using gallon sized plastic Ziploc bags and donate to a shelter or food bank. Also, consider keeping a few in the car for when you see someone in need.
Ideas for Items to Use in Blessing Bags:
- toiletries {deodorant, toothbrushes, razors, soap, shampoo}
- hand warmers, socks, wash cloths, gloves
- bottled water, granola bars, tuna/cracker packs, beef jerky
- lip balm, sunscreen, female personal hygiene
- small denomination gift cards for coffee & food
