One of the coolest things we’ve encountered since moving here has been the number of opportunities to volunteer.

Today, Johanna’s Explorer group met downtown at Greenville’s Gift, a non-profit that provides bags of essentials to new moms who may not have the resources many moms enjoy.

Katriel was also able to come.

In each bag they placed the following:
2 blankets
3 bibs
3 burb cloths
2 hats
3 pair of socks
2 onsies in the smaller size and 2 in the larger size
2 pjs in the smaller size and 2 in the larger size
2 outfits of the smaller size and 2 of the larger size
1 coat, jacket or sweater
1 toy or special item…  but the girls had such a hard time picking they were often allowed to put in a few special items ♥
(all of the clothes were already prepped for the matching season for babies born this time of year)

everything had been donated and was either new or in excellent condition

They each did one boy bag and one girl bag.
There was much oooooing and aaaaaaahing.

And we prayed over those who would receive the bags.
