Christmas Bag Delivery to Parkland

Stuffing the bags

Stacking into delivery carts

Thanks 

to all our many volunteers who donated time, money and purchased and handmade items to make our annual Christmas bag project a success!  We completed over 344 bags that were handed out to families who were blessed with newborn babies at Parkland just before Christmas.  

Tying the bags and adding tags

Each beautiful hand made bag included a blanket, a sleeper, a warm hat, a pair of socks or booties, a hand painted Christmas ornament, and a soft stuffed embroidered toy made by our volunteers. The Child Development staff at Parkland provided books, developmental toys and first Christmas ornaments to add to the bags.  There is no doubt that each family that received one was thrilled to receive so many beautiful essentials for their newborn!
