With the collective creativity of many, we look forward to showing the love to our community We began as a Life Group from church.

This team of twelve has been doing life together and serving for four years. Our first outreach was giving away personal care and cleaning product to anyone who attended the UT Community Care Clinic and free meal at CedarCreek South Toledo campus for four years. What happened recently was truly a connection that could only have been a nudge from above. A fellow church member with a huge heart to serve, donated 100 re-usable drawstring bags to be used where needed. After seeing these fun and functional bags and meeting with her, a vision arose that together we can reach out to our community and provide "Bags of Love". With the collective creativity of many we look forward to providing bags with personal care products for various causes in our community. Now, our other outreaches include Cherry Street Mission, Vision Ministries, UTMC Street Clinic, The Tabernacle, Toledo Police Department, Lucas County Children Services and we are also a Faith Based Partner with Toledo Public Schools. It has been a blessing to have the helping hands of friends, family and fellow church members who collected personal care products, coupons and provide other donations that have made it possible to keep up with this outreach. We are strong supporters of The Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. Every box we pack includes a "Bag of Love" for the kiddos to keep their treasures in. The hope is that whoever receives one of these "Bags of Love" will know that they are special, they matter and that they are loved.

We’re excited to share the results from the Open House we had in August!

🎉 Nearly 300 people came out to see what Bags of Love is all about, and together, we raised an incredible $4,350! 🎉

The total came from our amazing 17 raffle bundles, 9 silent auction items, 50/50 raffle, generous cash donations, T-shirt, tote bag, and window sticker sales. Every dollar helps us continue making a difference in our community! ❤️

It was a LOT of work, but seeing so many wonderful people come together to support our mission made every minute worthwhile! ❤️

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and helped make our Open House a success. We couldn’t do it without you! 🫶

❤️ Spreading Love at Susie’s Coats for Kids! ❤️

Bags of Love was proud to be part of this year’s Susie’s Coats for Kids distribution event!

This year, we provided 1,000 handmade drawstring bags, each filled with essential hygiene products and either a handmade jump rope or a handmade tic-tac-toe game! For the littlest ones, each infant received a special handmade crochet baby blanket instead of a bag.

✨ It takes a village, and we are so grateful for ours! ✨

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who donated hygiene products, made jump ropes, tic-tac-toe games, sewed the bags and filled them! Every contribution helped make this possible. 💕

We also want to thank who helped distribute the bags at the event: Amy Ackerman, Phyllis Loving, Sharon Staerker, Chris Lawson, Jennifer Myers, and Angel Myers.

Together, we are making a difference, one child and one handmade gift at a time! ❤️
