Mosaic Circle At Shallowford Presbyterian

What a wonderful surprise! We thought we were coming to Shallowford Presbyterian today for a dinner and then a small presentation about Bountiful Bags.  Instead, the dinner was centered around our program.  All of the tables were decorated beautifully.

The ladies of the Mosaic Circle were absolutely amazing! They were so generous and gracious.  We received many school supplies, nonperishables, and toiletries.  Thank you ladies for letting us share our mission and story with you!

Shallowford Presbyterian Youth Choir

We get so excited when there are new faces at packing on Thursdays.  Today, some of Shallowford Presbyterian's Youth Choir came to help us pack and told us that they will be giving a free concert for our students!  How awesome is that?!  We are very much looking forward to hearing them sing in June.  Thank you for joining us today!  :)

Global Humanitarian Summit at Emory University

Yesterday, we set up our table and today's the big day! Our first big public event as Bountiful Bags :) We saw many great organizations and made a few connections with people and their organizations.  Because of a session we attended, we came up with a few more ideas to help us move to continue moving forward with Bountiful Bags!

After a much needed week of rest, we had our first packing after Spring Break.  Some of the students have not been bringing back their backpacks, so our supply of backpacks is slowing dwindling away.  We have resorted to using plastic bags.  

This Saturday and Sunday, April 14-15, we are going to be at the Global Humanitarian Summit, so maybe we could do some networking and get some more backpacks for our students!

Spring Break!

We have spring break this week...See you next week!
