Gift of Warmth

















Thursday, an enthusiastic crew decorated gift bags with ribbon, used wrapping paper, used Christmas cards, sparkles and glitter.   Net proceeds will give warmth to a person who is homeless."  The bags come in three sizes and are given to those who make a donation of $10, 15, or 25 to the Shelter.  Each bag comes with an Inn From The Cold tag that reads: " Thanks for your Gift of Warmth.  A charitable receipt is also provided.


The bags made their debut at today's  Fair Trade Fair at St Alban.  Shelter volunteers were on hand to answer questions. The bags proved to be very popular, raising over $250 for the shelter.


There are still some bags available, and another bag decorating evening is planned.  If anyone would like to offer the bags to friends, family or at an event or meeting, just contact us at InnFromTheColdRichmond@gmail.com.
