BIRTHDAY BAGS
This is such a neat way for moms & Moppets to give to the community!  Next meeting, April 7th, we will be assembling the bags to donate to the Hancock County Food Pantry.  Feel free to bring as much as you can or if you don't have any of this stuff on hand please don't fret, WE STILL WANT YOU TO COME TO MOPS without it!  What to bring if you are able:

  • Cake mixes
  • Icing
  • Cake toppers
  • leftover, unused plates, napkins, party hats & favors (YES, we want those three Bob the Builder napkins or two leftover princess blowers.  We will combine to make sure there is enough in each bag)
  • new plates, napkins, etc. (Dollar stores are great places to find some of these)
  • Gift Bags
 You can also bring a completed bag.  Maybe you can shop with your kids, as a family service project, and get everything you need for a child's birthday.  What a neat opportunity to talk with your older preschoolers about giving.  A complete bag would at minimum have a cake mix & icing.  It could also have 8 plates, napkins, party favors, etc.  Theme bags are of course fun (Colts, all pink, Thomas the Train, Princess, etc.).

  
If you have questions don't hesitate to ask Jennifer or Chera!

 Do you have a past birthday bag story to share?
