Friendship Bags

The Friendship Bag idea was proposed in 2002 by Debbie Large and Becky Davis who became the first co-chairmen once it was approved as a service project. Originally it was called the Dignity Bags project, but the name was changed to Friendship Bags. This project involves providing large, sturdy duffel bags and toiletries to the Children Services Board. These bags are given to children when they need to be removed from their homes so that they can pack their possessions and carry them in a dignified manner. The project continues in 2007 with Debbie Large and Chris Thomas as co-chairmen.
