Sweet Dream In A Bag

Newsletter 
May/June2018

 
 Providing New Bedding,

Caring and Love to Children 

One family was so thankful for all the beautiful, warm bedding, as they just had one blanket for their two boys to share for months and months!  Neither of the boys had a bed, Sweet Dream was able to give them air mattresses with their wonderful new Sweet Dream Bags.  Now they each had their very own place to sleep!

Please Sign Up on Website for All Events!

Go to: www.Sweetdreaminabag.org and sign up in the "VOLUNTEER" area for each event you plan on attending.

Sweet Dream is so excited that so many people are willing to help at our once a month "PACK & PRAY EVENTS", we are trying to find a way to make sure everyone that wants to participate will have a table if they sign up.  Please be sure to mark the number of people coming and the number of tables needed.  We are asking that if you bring a group that you limit it to 10-12 people.  We know that many of you have helped for years and we so appreciate you -- it would be so helpful if you also could sign up so we have an idea of how to plan for each Pack & Pray.  We will reserve you tables for folding.  Sweet Dream always provides a light lunch after we are done packing and all are welcome to stay and enjoy the lunch and the fellowship of new friends!

For "GIFTING EVENTS", please sign up on the website in the "VOLUNTEER" area.  If it is your first time helping the kids select their bedding and reading "You Are Awesome" book with them, please come about 30 early to the gifting event as we always have a short training session and by the time the children arrive everyone knows what will be happening and will feel comfortable.  Each Gifting Event takes a total of about 2 hours, with the training, setting up and repacking the van with the excess bedding.  Gifting Events are an opportunity to actually meet  the children and parents and enjoy the excitement and the joy as they choose something of their very own!

Without wonderful volunteers & donors it would be impossible for Sweet Dream to gift so many children with their new, beautiful bedding.  Come spend some time volunteering you won't be sorry you invested a little of your time with these precious children!
