We Love Our Teens
February
This event was specifically designed to meet the needs of There With Care’s new Mental Health program catering to teens. Bin Blessed assembles 50 care bags for teen patients while traveling between doctor appointments. Our bags are filled with activity books, crafts and games targeting this sometimes neglected age group. This will be our third year running and it is a member favorite.
Easter/Spring
March
To celebrate Easter and Spring, Bin Blessed members assembled 50 gift bags for There With Care families. These bags were filled with spring-themed activities, treats, and other thoughtful, fun items.
Mother's Day
April
Moms with a child facing a medical crisis spend long days at the hospital for doctors appointments, treatments and some are even at their child’s bedside. For some of these families, one parent even has to stop working to meet the demands of their new schedule. These Moms have little time to think of themselves with the stress of their unforeseen situation. Bin Blessed enjoys going the extra mile to give these Moms going through so much a caring gift. Members meet to assemble thoughtful Mother’s Day bags filled with pampering items and sweet treats for these amazing Moms.
Father's Day
June
Dads with a child facing a medical crisis spend long days at the hospital for doctors appointments, treatments and some are even at their child’s bedside. For some of these families, one parent even has to stop working to meet the demands of their new schedule. These Dads have little time to think of themselves with the stress of their unforeseen situation. Bin Blessed enjoys going the extra mile to give these Dads going through so much a caring gift. Members will meet to assemble thoughtful Father’s Day bags filled with these items for these amazing Dads.
Back to School Backpacks
July
Back to School is an exciting time for families but Parents with a critically ill child have little time for siblings long lists of school supplies. Bin Blessed members step up to ease this stress by collecting hundreds of items and assembling back packs for these families with everything they need to start the school year.
Oh Baby
September
We collect and bundle the most needed baby items such as washcloths, shampoo, lotion, and even rubber duck bath toys.
Halloween Treat Bags
October
There With Care families with a critically ill child are not able to take their siblings Trick or Treating due to possible suppressed immunity and the sheer lack of time. Bin Blessed creates fun Treat bags for these siblings full of Halloween themed activities and special treats.
Crock Pot & Soup Kits
November
One of our favorite events involves collecting new CrockPots for There With Care families so that after a long day at the hospital they can come home to a hot, home cooked meal. Bin Blessed members gift wrap each CrockPot with soup kits, liners and even attach a recipe tied with a bow. The CrockPots and Soup Kits are then delivered to There With Care families along with all of the grocery items needed to make the Soup.
