Making Blessing Bags

Several weeks ago, the Arnold Salvation Army had a fire. This is the location where Karin Kostich, Grace Co-op OG Lunch Lady, runs The James II Project. An organization whose mission is to feed, encourage and restore those who are unhoused and underprivileged by providing nourishment, basic hygiene access and laundry access to provide dignity and a reprieve from the harshness of their everyday reality. They lost all their Blessing Bags of essentials in the fire.

They have collected/replaced items and are asking Grace Co-op to help put the Blessing Bags together and to take a moment and learn about what these individuals face during winter.

In case you would like to donate more items, here are the items in need.

• Hot hands

• Gloves

• Hand crank flashlights
