What's Bin Happening
Check out what our Bin Babes and partners have been doing.
Father's Day Gift Bag Event
Bin Blessed's Father’s Day bag event was held on May 16 at the Castle Pines Library. Babes assembled 75 Father’s Day bags full of snacks, a coffee set and thoughtful Starbucks Gift cards. During the event, Program Coordinators Marina and Hannah from There With Care rolled up their sleeves and helped with set up.
Also, during the Father’s Day event, Marina shared heartfelt stories of families receiving our gift bags and presented the Bin Babes with a giant “Thank You” card signed by all of the program coordinators in appreciation of 180 Mother’s Day bags!! It means so much to all of our Babes and Partners to be appreciated! Thank you, Marina!
Mission Hills Moms of Littles
Mission Hills Moms of Littles was one of our MomCo groups to support Mother’s Day Tea sets in May. Special thanks to Babes, Kristi and Misty for hosting an early Saturday morning event at Mission Hills Church in Littleton on May 3 to complete the last of our Mother’s Day gift bags.
Buffalo Ridge
Bin Babes, Jane, Karen, Beth, Sheri and Misty were all smiles to help the National Honor Society load their cars full of donations at Buffalo Ridge Elementary. This year’s haul came to almost 800 lbs. of food for There With Care families in only 4 days! UNBELIEVABLE!
Bin Blessed sponsored a RootBeer Float Appreciation party on a beautiful day outside in Buffalo Ridge’s Garden. National Honor Society members were celebrated for their help coordinating, marketing and tracking all of the donations from 23 classrooms. The overall WINNER of the most donations for the second year in a row was Mrs. Byrd's First Grade class, collecting 360 points worth of applesauce. The winning class from each grade with the most donations earned Extra Recess time, too! Honor Society members are already planning for 2026! Special thanks to Babes: Myrnan, Jane, Karen, Beth, Misty, Evelyn and Dawn for supporting this incredible event.
We asked Mr. Ryckman, Buffalo Ridge Elementary’s Art Teacher, if he would bring back our LOVE bags this year to celebrate Bin Blessed's 10-year Anniversary. He said “YES,” and his students decorated 135 grocery bags during our food drive for There With Care families. We recreated his photo with Bin Teen, Ryan Flaherty, from 6 years ago during our VERY FIRST school food drive. My, how time flies! Thanks so much for your support, Tim, in making this happen for our Bin Blessed Birthday!!!
Mr. Ryckman’s LOVE bags really inspired one of his younger students this year. A third-grade boy was so inspired by the bags and their purpose that he went home and begged his Mom to buy more bags, which he decorated himself. He contributed almost 20 bags all by himself, coloring each one to copy our original. You never know who you will inspire by telling why YOU support Bin Blessed and There With Care, so spread the word!
