3 Bags in 2 days

There is a really cool organization in our area that has a heart for the homeless. A group of young girls decided that they wanted to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate in our area. This conversation was motivated by an encounter with a homeless man and a chocolate chip cookie. One of the girls, Chloe, ran in to a gentleman and was moved with compassion for his current situation. She decided that the least she could do was buy him a cookie and acknowledge his presence with a gentle "hello." The man was completely taken with such kindness from this young girl. This encounter changed the course of Chloe's life, as well as some of her friends. These girls wanted to do more than walk by some in need. They desired to have a plan for the next time they ran across someone that needed a little extra help. Perspective and a heart for giving spurred on this organization called, "3 Bags in 2 Days." You guessed it, the name speaks for itself. They passed out the very first 3 bags ( care bags filled with basic necessities) in 2 days. It has been a little over a year since this all began and it is growing by leaps and bounds. It has been eye opening to all of us to understand even more of what is going on all around us. We decided it would be beneficial to get our kids at the Well Communities involved, as well. After all, it was a one beautiful example of how to love your neighbor. The kids were able to hear this story and assemble 40 care bags. These bags included the basic necessities such as : toiletries, socks, gloves, cereal bars, water, chap stick, wipes, etc. The children were shocked to learn that the average age of homelessness is only 9 years old! Unbelievable! To Chloe and her friends at 3 Bags.....thank you for letting us be apart of your ministry. You all are such a great example to our community!
