Enthusiastically, we share an update from Janeen Holmes, President & CEO of My Stuff Bags Foundation, the organization dedicated to providing much-needed new childhood essentials and comfort for children rescued from abuse and neglect. My Stuff Bags was the 2008 and 2009 Hands-On Charity Partner for Site SoCal’s Holiday Events.

As you may recall (especially the 100+ of you that did the bag stuffing!), My Stuff Bags are individual duffels filled with new belongings such as toys, clothing, books, personal toiletries, a warm blanket, and other basic childhood necessities for infants, children and teens who have been displaced from their families and have nothing of their own to comfort them.

With the help of the generous donations made during the 2009 Holiday Event, 4,306 My Stuff Bags have already been delivered to Southern California children in need during the first half of 2010! We hope you are proud and pleased to know that our contributions are diligently being distributed by My Stuff Bags Foundation to help children each and every day. Although our event was only two days long, the work we’ve all done will continue to improve lives throughout the entire year.

Thank you all for your generosity and compassion. Isn’t it amazing to know you are a hero to over 4,000 kids? Just imagine 4,000 thank you notes filling up your mail box right now!
