Warming Kids Up

Sometimes it’s the essentials that are needed, like a warm blanket or throw, a pair of warm pajamas, underwear or socks, with a good book and a satchel to carry it all.

​

Get your classmates committed, your co-workers gathering, organizations interested and your family united in this effort. Help us keep our children warm this winter.

​

Please join with us and help provide children, toddlers through tweens with some essentials.

​

We are asking you to get involved with this worthwhile project. Organize your family, friends, churches, clubs and business associates to help us reach out and keep our children warm.

ITEMS NEEDED

​

  • New homemade or purchased blankets or throws or sleeping blankets

  • New coats

  • Packages of new pajamas, underwear and socks

  • Age-appropriate children’s books (U.S.A.)

  • And of course, a satchel or duffle bag to carry it all

  • In addition to accepting completed satchels and/or duffle bags, we will also accept individual items.  If you don’t have a satchel and/or duffle bag, simply put the items into a gift bag or grocery bag.

​

Volunteers will be working hard this Fall and Winter to guarantee satchels and/or duffle bags are filled with age, gender and size appropriate items. We’ll then match a specific satchel to a specific child for distribution this December.

Here’s how YOU can help!

 

  • Donate one or more completed satchels filled with the requested items, or donate individual items as you are able.

  • Come up with your own ideas regarding an event and how you will collect blankets, new pajamas, packaged underwear, socks, books and satchels.  Then give us a call or drop an email to ministries@impactwithhope.org for approval.

  • Or, contact us for ideas.  We would love to share some suggestions for ways to help your efforts be a great success.

  • Make a financial gift to help ensure each child on our list gets a satchel.  A donation of just $50 will provide a complete satchel.

  •
