Veteran and Gold Star Care Bags
Many veterans feel forgotten, and some never receive a visit of encouragement or words of support. We want to change that, so last year we delivered 873 Resilience Care Bags to veterans and Gold Star families. Mabel Joy accompanied us on these visits which were designed to make the day an extra-special one. We bless these veterans with items they request, pack them with love, and speak words of gratefulness to them on each visit. Our Gold Star families have experienced heartbreaking loss, so our purpose in each visit is to comfort and honor their loved ones. Each bag contains a handmade patriot quilt, red, white, and blue candle, journal, tumbler, books, spa items, money card, stuffed Mabel pup, and special requests from the family. These are all packed in a practical and useful duffel bag. In 2023, we want to double the number of Veteran and Gold Star Care Bags, and your sponsorship of this project can help us reach our goal. This is a beautiful and tangible way to show our support for these heroes.
