Sweet Dream In A Bag

Newsletter

June/July 2017

 
 Providing New Bedding,

Caring and Love to Children 

It's hard to choose a
Sweet Dream Bag

 

The record for time spent trying to decide in the perfect Sweet Dream Bag is right at 40 minutes.  It was so hard for this 13 year old girl to make up her mind.  She tried everything like spinning and falling on one---doing "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo", getting advice from her Mom and sister and everyone else in the room!  It seemed to be the biggest decision of her life.  But finally Minnie Mouse ended up to be the PERFECT ONE!

This wonderful young man has given of himself and part of his earnings to Sweet Dream before.  Just recently he was involved with "Young Entrepreneur Market Place" and he decided to donate part of his profits to Sweet Dream!  Thank you for having such a heart to help these precious children that Sweet Dream serves!!
PACK, PRAY & PROVIDE
You can purchase a Walmart or Target Gift Card in any amount and Sweet Dream can use them to purchase needed items for the Sweet Dream Bags.
 This is an easy to donate to help Sweet Dream have all the needed items that go into the bags!
Sweet Dream Packing Projects for Churches

In the past month several churches have funded private "Pack & Pray Events" at their churches.  Sweet Dream asks churches to provide at least half the funding for the bedding supplies.  It was exciting to see one church wanting to provide 75% of the funding!  This makes the Sweet Dream funds multiply and we are able  provide more children with their own Sweet Dream Bag!  It is exciting to see families in these churches work together, even the youngest of children can find an important job when packing the bag.  It could be choosing the beanie baby and filling it with love before it is packed or picking just the right comforter---everyone has an important part in creating the perfect Sweet Dream Bag!  We love helping churches and organizations to get families engaged in providing such a meaningful service project!!!  Sweet Dream Packing Event works for all ages!
