Welcome Bags provide a wonderful gesture of hospitality when our guests arrive at the Family House! They remind guests that they're loved and supported by our community, and they provide practical things that guests can enjoy during long waits in the hospitals and waiting rooms.
In order to manage the number of bags coming into the Family House, we ask that volunteers register online at https://www.familyhousews.org/volunteer/.
Here are some helpful guidelines:
* Recommended bag size: 8x10 gift bags (which can be decorated!)
* Examples of items to include: Think about the items you take with you on a road trip. At this time, please do not include children's items. Please do not include food.
- Packs of gum
- Puzzle books
- Deck of cards
- Individual tissue packs
- Pen and a notepad
- Hand sanitizer
- Note cards
- Travel sewing kit
* Hour value: 10 bags = 1 hour of volunteer service (if you're recording your hours)
* Please drop these off on the Monday when you've signed up, anytime between 10:00-6:00.
