My daughter and I spent the afternoon creating gift bags for teens at the Compass House in Buffalo, NY.
Compass House provides safe shelter and services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth. Through the voluntary programs at the Emergency Shelter and Resource Center, they provide runaway, homeless and street youth with services in an environment that supports dignity, respect and self-reliance.
Each bag contained six items. We filled the girls' bags with hand sanitizer, lip gloss, tissues, pack of gum, shower puff, make-up bag or toothbrush with case, and small bottles of either body wash, shampoo or lotion.
The boys' bags included tissues, deck of playing cards, bar of soap, gum, red hots, and a toothbrush with case.
We created a total of 48 bags for a cost of $104.00. Time spent was about 3 very enjoyable hours. My daughter will deliver the bags to Compass House this weekend.
Just an example of what we as eKiwanians can do!
