On February 18, after our regular MOPS meeting, we will be doing a service project for an organization called Birthday Dreams. Birthday Dreams is a non-profit that provides birthday parties for children who are homeless or are in the foster care system. Our group will be putting together party bags filled with party favors and candy that will be given to Birthday Dreams and distributed at birthday parties.
Here's how you can help:
1. Bring party favors to our Feb. 4 and/or Feb. 18 MOPS meetings. You don't have to spend much to make a big impact! Great places to score party favors at great prices are Dollar Tree (which has a whole aisle of $1 party favor packs) and Target's dollar section or party aisle.
Other great items such as colorful pencils, stickers, temporary tattoos, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk may be found in places other than the party aisle for less.
2. Plan to stay after the MOPS meeting on February 18 and fill bags. This is a kid-friendly project, in fact we want our kids to be involved! Pack your child a sack lunch and stick around after the meeting. We'll be decorating bags and filling them with goodies. This is an activity that will be fun for you to do with your children, and a great way to expose them to serving others.
