Outreach to Children
Our Bundles of Blessings was born in 2009 from a need that was seen in the Shoals area. No church or agency was giving diapers, pull-ups, or wipes in bulk to those in need. Magnolia Benevolence Committee decided to use the funds contributed to benevolence to try and meet the needs of families who had babies/small children. Since 2009 Magnolia members along with three outside grants have funded this ministry. Time is also given unselfishly as it takes 25 to 30 volunteers to conduct a diaper giveaway. There have ALWAYS been enough volunteers! In addition to routinely giving diapers, pull-ups, and wipes, items made by our Magnolia members such as baby blankets, booties, knitted caps, and burp cloths are given to newborn babies. Backpacks filled with newborn supplies for new moms and their babies are also given. Some examples of other items given to children are children's Bible story books (English and Spanish), new tennis shoes, socks, coats, underwear, school supplies, to name a few. Magnolia Church is always looking for ways to reach children and their families, and to help meet some of their needs. |
