Shop and Make Family Toiletry Bags

Any one of any age, any time, any where can volunteer to shop and make Family Toiletry Bags for families.

Family Toiletry Bags provide families facing a medical crisis, who often arrive at the hospital in an emergency, with personal hygiene products to care for themselves.

We welcome you to make and donate as many bags as you choose. Thank you for volunteering!
