Goodie Bag Stuffing Guidelines
If you would like to gather a group for a goodie bag stuffing project, we would really appreciate it! It's very easy, rather inexpensive, and can be a fun few hours for a group. We use several hundred of these per month, so when groups donate them to us, it's a tremendous help in our work. Here's the scoop:
Decide how many people will work on the project
Decide how much each person is willing to contribute (monetarily) to the goodie bags. This will help you decide how many bags you can make. Usually, people are willing to donate $10, $20 or $30...sometimes more!
Delegate who will bring what...here's a list of suggested supplies: Please consider the actual volume of the bag. While there do not have to be a dozen items in the bag, try to think about purchasing items of varying size and shape, so the bag feels full and exciting!
Empty Goodie Bags
Pocket toys/games
Pocket note- or sketchpads
Yo-yos
Funky curly straws
Pens, pencils, crayons
Noisemakers
Lay the materials out in-assembly fashion
Have fun chatting & stuffing! :)
PLEASE NO CANDY IN GOODY BAGS
PLEASE NO OBJECTS THAT PRESENT A CHOKING HAZARD TO CHILDREN UNDER 3
When you have completed the goodie bags, they may be sent or delivered to our warehouse, please make arrangements for shipping or delivery.
Please be sure to include a note with your name & those who helped you so that we can thank you properly in our newsletter and with a tax letter. Again, we truly appreciate your generous work; you will help make a difference in a child's life. If you have any questions, please email
