11/14/2021 0 Comments The Next Few Steps…More progress has been made moving forward with our project. Last week, we mentioned our plans to make blanket bundles to hand out to those in need. This week, we made those blanket bundles.
Previously we had made bags to hand out that contained food and hygiene products. We made six bags in total which ended up costing about $100. On top of that, we have to pay for gas to go to Winston to hand out the bags. Overall it cost quite a bit. Although it’s important to hand out the necessary supplies, we need to find a less expensive way to do so. We discussed ways to go about making the blanket bundles without spending much money. We concluded that we could take blankets that aren't being used at our house, and hand them out to those who need them. By doing this, we could save money while putting the blankets to use. The first step of this process was washing the blankets. We thought it would be necessary since the blankets were from our house. Next, we folded the blankets and rolled them up. We tied the blankets with ribbon to hold them in place. We all had some hand-warmers on hand that we put between the ribbon and the blanket. We forgot to print out the prayer cards for our food bags, so we printed them out to attach to the bundles. The prayer card reads, “I am praying for you. Here is a blanket bundle to warm your hands and hearts. Please know that I am praying for you. Know that nothing is impossible if you keep faith and trust God. Do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34”. We want to help people in more ways than one. We may see the people we help once or twice while handing out supplies, but they’re on our mind more than those few times. Some of the greatest ideas we’ve had were at practice or at church. We pray for the people we come face to face with and hope they find peace in the midst of their struggles.
