Assemble Care Packages for Sheltering at Home
Show love, support, and community to people who are scared and at risk
When families in your community are unable to leave home, show them kindness and help them fill their days with these simple, thoughtful care packages.
This project was created by a small gathering of families from St. Paul/West St. Paul/South St. Paul committed to peace and justice. We appreciate them inspiring us all.
Possible recipients
