Eighteen of our dedicated members gathered recently to assemble items for three of our important programs. \u00a0One group assembled \u2018Baby Bundles\u2019 that included beautiful hand-made blankets, hats, sweaters, booties, a Onesie, information about SIDS in English and Spanish, and a board book for new mothers to read to their babies.\u00a0\u00a0We provided 39 Baby Bundles to a clinic that serves low-income families.<\/p>\n

Another group assembled toiletry kits that were provided to an elementary school in Manassas to be used as part of its hygiene curriculum to help fourth and fifth graders learn good grooming practices. \u00a0Each packet contained deodorant, soap, shampoo, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a comb and hairbrush. \u00a0That school also received many school supplies.<\/p>\n

\"Hygiene<\/a><\/p>\n

A third assembly line packed \u2018starter kits\u2019 of new clothes for students at eight elementary schools.\u00a0 Each school received an assortment of basic clothing items, such as sweatpants and sweatshirts, T-shirts, leggings, underwear, and socks.\u00a0 Nearly 600 clothing items were provided. \u00a0Next month, we will hold another major packing event to provide a wider range of clothing items for the schools.<\/p>\n

\"Selection<\/a><\/p>\n

Certainly, the joy our members felt when assembling these items had tripled in volume by the time the students and new mothers received their precious packages.<\/p>\n
