What's Bin Happening
Check out what our Bin Babes and partners have been doing.
We LOVE our Teens Bag Event
We DID IT!!! We received all 50 of each game, journal and fidget toy to create the FUN "We LOVE Our Teens” bags on February 10. With hundreds of items, we were happy to have some extra hands from our Plum Creek Church MomCo. During the event, Tommi McHugh, Program Coordinator with There With Care told our members this is one of the most anticipated and favorite bags of their staff. They can’t wait to see each year what we include for these Teens waiting for hours in doctors' offices and traveling to and from appointments. Special thanks to our Babes, Bin Angels & Corporate Sponsors that supported this event: Quest Environmental, Dr. Brandon Linn Orthodontics and LIV Sotheby’s. Teen Babe, Evie Razem designed our Bag Tags again this year. They were so colorful and Fun! Way to go Evie!
NEW! Sweet Dreams Baby Giftset
Another thoughtful Bin Blessed Baby Giftset. These new sets were created to give There With Care a variety of baby gifts for their families. These “Sweet Dreams” gift sets include; 2 pairs of footed pajamas, pacifiers, a bedtime story, a teether, nighttime lotion and a soft stuffed animal.
Thanks to Bin Babes and Suzette and Kristi, Journey Women’s Bible Study celebrated Valentine’s by assembling these Sweet Dreams baby gift sets full of special items to drift the baby off to sleep. This was our fourth Bin Blessed event sponsored by Journey Church. Journey Women’s Bible Study has over 100 members for its morning meetings. The attendees enjoyed creating the sets, and several attendees were interested in helping Bin Blessed with future events. A WIN WIN!
New! There With Care Birthday Bags
Another first-time event! On February 19, Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church MomCo members assembled Birthday Bags and listened to moving presentations provided by There With Care’s COO Laurie Peterson and Board Financial Advisor, Ruchi Brunvand. These Birthday bags are a staple offering for There With Care. Thanks to this MomCo for starting this activity, Bin Blessed can add it to our list of options for our partners in the Fall. These FUN bags include plates, napkins, utensils, hats, birthday glasses, streamers, noisemakers, garland and lastly a “Happy Birthday” banner with tape to hang it. These bags are given to There With Care families with a donated cake so that they can celebrate their loved one’s special day even at the Hospital.
We love You CCPC MomCo, thank you!
