March 2009 Bag Stuffing Workshop

Posted on: Tue, 02 Jul 2019 16:01 PM

At our Bag Stuffing Workshops, volunteers, many of whom are Necessities Bag recipients, gather to assemble the many components of the bags. Our workshop in March, 2009, was held at the offices of neighboring businesses and supporters, Little Property Management and Union Travel in East Sacramento. A record 100 Bags were fully assembled in addition to extra Hospital, Stationery, and Wound Care kits for future Bag stuffing. Mare Pare, Breast Cancer Navigator for Sutter Cancer Center, spoke to the volunteers about the impact Necessities Bags make on the patients she meets. Our local Peet’s Coffee contributed an urn of their finest brew, and volunteers enjoyed sharing the treats they made and brought to the event.
