Totebags for the Homeless

2008_Totebags_042.jpgTotebag Ministry for the Homeless is a Christmas ministry.

Church members are invited to take bags, contribute $1 or $2 to pay for each bag, fill them with specific items (found on a sheet inside each bag) including toiletries and snacks, and return them to the chancel area in the sanctuary on a designated Sunday for distribution to Dallas area homeless shelters.  982 bags were returned and subsequently delivered in 2010.
