Jr High and Outreach

So it is starting....
We are finally getting a group together and starting an outreach. With youth! I am so excited. We have made a contact within the state office to be our official rep. Someone to let us know when they need bags and to hand out fliers and let people know who and where we are and that we have stuff available. We are making contacts with other community groups to get out and have an actual physical presence in the community, for this I am so thankful for.
You see I know that the need is there, I see this at the ground level. The kids who show up at my door, or hear stories from friends of their kids showing up, no suitcases, just garbage bags and boxes. Or nothing at all. This. must. stop. We are a "civilized" country. We "take care of our children." While this might not seem that big of a deal, it is.
If you have had to move you need something that you can say is yours. A cuddly, a bag, something. I am not here to tell people, go out be a foster parent. No, not everyone should be. However, everyone can help.

How can I help? Just me?

 a bag

Pray. Donate. Foster.
