Just Because it’s the holidays

The holidays are here again and what can be a better time than the holidays to do a Just Because Bag drive.  Just Because bags are little brown paper bags, decorated and filled with items we don’t usually give on the line during a giveaway.  This is a fun little drive that kids love to help with.  This is also a wonderful activity for scouts and schools to get involved with also.

We ask for brown paper bags to keep the waste low and biodegradable.  So keep that in mind when you are decorating the bags.  Take packaging off items you put in the bag that has plastic.

Here’s what you need: brown paper bags, markers, crayons… to decorate your bags, items to put into your bags like:

You can bring them to the giveaway on December 15th or arrange for a pick up or drop off by December 13th, email donations@austinhumamnistsatwork.org.
