Our Redeemer is excited to once again partner with His Providence Church in Swansea, MA, to support the mission of Bags of Hope. Bags of Hope is entering its 14th year of providing monogrammed duffle bags full of comfort items to local foster children. To date, they have delivered over 47,000 bags to foster children across the USA. The goal for this year is 6,000 bags.
Ways You Can Help support Bags of Hope:
Purchase an Ornament for $25: The child named on your ornament will receive a monogrammed duffle bag filled with comfort items. We ask that you pray for this child by name throughout the year. Checks can be made out to “HPC-Bags of Hope”. Cash and Venmo are also accepted. Ornaments will be available for purchase each Sunday, from October 26th through November 16th.
Volunteer to Help Wrap Gifts and Pack Duffle Bags: A group from Our Redeemer will be volunteering on Monday, November 17th, from 6 pm to 8 pm. Pizza, snacks, and drinks will be provided by Thrivent. Please sign up on the ‘OTHERS’ bulletin board. Bags of Hope is located at His Providence Church at 262 Swansea Mall Drive, Swansea, MA. If you would like to volunteer at other times between November 17th to December 4th, please use the following link: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/1181986436023/false#/invitation
Thrivent Action Teams – If you are a member of Thrivent and have not used up your Thrivent Action Teams for the year, please let Rachel Nichols know. Besides ornaments and volunteering, Our Redeemer provides all the wrapping paper and tape for Bags of Hope through Thrivent Action Team monies.
