MSDSA - Holiday Blessing Bags

To all members of McConnell School of Dance Students Association,

As the holiday season approaches, the MSDSA board generally collects for a family from the Cheer Board. This year we discussed trying something different to help some of the unfortunate people who may be out on the streets alone this Christmas. We hope to help more people and give them the hope and love everyone deserves at this special time of year.

What we will be gathering is a list of specific items that will be placed in strong Ziploc bags (supplied) and given out to those on the street. They will be called Blessing Bags. The children of the dance divisions will be asked to make inspirational or thoughtful cards that will be placed in the bag with the items. If a family would like to take a couple of the filled bags and hand them out personally to someone they may see often out on the street, you are welcome to do so. Otherwise we will bring them to one of the shelters like Siloam Mission to hand out as people visit the shelter during the Christmas Season.  Suggestions for donated items are below.






There will be a box left in the studio to collect any items you may wish to donate.

Thank you from the MSDSA Board.
