Donation Collection: Bags of Hope

In an effort to spread festive cheer and community connection, we will be collecting donations for Help Hope Live‘s Bags of Hope initiative at both the Holiday Open House and Preview Party. Bags of Hope provides care packages to extended stay hospital and rehab patients. Annually around the holidays, Help Hope Live staff volunteer to purchase, assemble, and deliver Bags of Hope to patients at local hospitals.

If you are able, we encourage you to bring a donation item or items that can be included in a Bag of Hope. Needed items include: Activity supplies (adult coloring books, colored pencils, cards, tabletop games, brainteaser puzzles), drinks/snacks (bottled water, reusable water bottles, gift cards for amazon, door dash, local restaurants, etc.) and personal care items (toothbrushing supplies, unscented hand sanitizer/lotion/lip balms, tissue packs, fun socks, cozy blankets, beanies etc.).
