Tote Bag Update

I tended the Soldier Support table today in the BACC Bay Cafe and very quickly handed out over 50 Wounded Warrior Tote Bags. I ran out of bags after the first service! Thank you to everyone who picked one up!

I will be sewing more bags this week and they will be available next Sunday. Some people who did not get a tote will be bringing their items in a plastic shopping bag, and will transfer the items to a tote bag on Sunday.

Delivery of the bags is expected to take place on July 4th by the older kids in the BACC Youth Ministries with their fearless leader Rick Gebauer. I will be working out the details this week with the Chaplain at Walter Reed.

Thank you to the Youth Rise Leo Club at Severna Park Middle School who put together about 50 "comfort bags" --handmade fabric pouches containing tooth brushes, soaps, shampoo, shaving kits and all kinds of comfort items for the wounded and recovering soldiers. The comfort bags were placed into the totes and handed out today.

Reminder, the filled totes are due back to BACC by next Sunday July 1st. Filled bags can also be dropped off at the BACC church during office hours this week, the phone number is 410-544-2222.

Thank you to everyone who helped sew the bags, and donated supplies or money to make this project happen!
