Create a “Blessing Bag” – Ramona Senior Center

A beautiful way to serve our local seniors is through the gift of a Blessing Bag.  A Blessing Bag is a little care package filled with fun treats and an unexpected surprise to brighten their day.

How Many Bags to Create?  The center is closed for activities during the Covid Crisis, however, there are 35-75 seniors that pick up a bagged lunch on any given day.  In addition, there at 250 home-bound seniors whom meals are brought to on a daily basis.  You may create anywhere from 1 to 250 “blessing bags” depending on your group size or budget.

Blessings Bags:  Make 1-250, or any amount that fits within your budget.  Place in a large zip lock bag or buy an inexpensive “dollar store” basket.  Feel free to get creative and include a special homemade card, which are always greatly appreciated.  Here are some ideas:

• Treat Bags : Chocolates, nuts, Cracker Jacks, granola bars, popcorn, Nilla Crackers, bag of mints, hand sanitizer, hand lotion,
• Game Basket: deck of cards, cross word puzzles, Sudoku and/or a large print book or bible

Family Friendly:  Absolutely! This is a great project to involved children.

Groups or Individuals:  Great for both groups and individuals.
