Hope & Care tote bags are a vital part of intake when an individual or family seeks shelter at Rescue Ministries. Each bag is filled with new, full-sized hygiene products such as shampoo, lotion, liquid soap, deodorant, a toothbrush and more. What may seem like a small gesture to some is a BIG gesture to those faced with homelessness. A Hope & Care tote bag can be the first glimpse of Christian love.
Gather your family, church or coworkers and hold a drive for this year’s needed items!
The way it works is simple: Order your empty tote bags, collect items from our list, fill the bags and then return them to the mission!
Operation Hope & Care is a fun project for team building. We hope you’ll join us for this great opportunity to make a difference.
