594 Bags
LOVINGLY PACKED & DELIVERED
594 VALENTINES
Donations were so abundant this year we were able to give 594 bountiful gift bags to residents of 14 shelters for people fleeing domestic abuse and trafficking (each serving 16 - 120 families).
All the bags are a little different but it’s important to us that all bags for each shelter have the same kind of stuff & number of things, including an assortment of “Lady Gifts” which vary from shelter to shelter. Everyone received a red zippered, re-usable tote bag including a little toiletry bag containing:
♡ Pack of antibacterial hand sanitizing wipes
♡ Toothbrush, toothbrush cap & travel size tooth paste
♡ Travel size deodorant
♡ Box of colored pencils & a pencil sharpener
♡ Monster finger puppet
♡ Pack of tissues
♡ Two razors
♡ Nail file
♡ Chocolates
♡ Valentine's day card from the Valentine Community
♡ Hand made Valentine cards from dear hearts across the country of every age and ability
In addition to the above each Valentine received an assortment of luxurious and useful gifts specific to their shelter. For example, residents at a shelter in the Bronx received: Red tote & Cosmetic bags as described above and:
♡ Warm scarf/ear warmers
♡ Earrings
♡ Lip balm
♡ Trial size perfume
♡ Additional toothbrush
♡ Body wash
♡ Lotion
♡ Eucerin
♡ Eye / face serum
♡ Room spray
If you are inspired by this and would like to join our effort to spread love on Valentine’s Day 2022, now’s a great time to collect items and send them in! The sooner the better!
