Time flexible

Description

Every holiday season, Midland Care builds and presents a gift bag full of useful and fun items for our Meals on Wheels and PACE clients. A total of 2000 gift bags are made over the course of the autumn and delivered to clients in December.

We are asking organizations to gather the items on the provided list and build a set of 25 gift bags for our clients as project. The completed bags will be brought in boxes or totes to the Midland Care Campus on Friday, Sept 19, or another date arranged with Volunteer Services.

If you wish to add additional items, please check with Volunteer Services to ensure the items are appropriate, as these will be held for a few months until the holidays.
