Asking for a little help...
We currently have 54 Great Beginning students receiving weekly food packs from Coldwater's NO HUNGRY KIDS program. Because of the high number, we are having trouble keeping up with the number of paper bags needed. Any paper bag will do as long as it has handles and is similar in size to the Chipolte bags. We use the bags to send food home.
Would you please consider donating your bags like these to Great Beginnings.
You can give these bags to your parent educator or drop them off at Great Beginnings Monday through Friday from 8 - 4.
Thanks so much!!
