Our kick off event this year really blew me away! Last year we did Coffee’s On Me and collected 64 Starbucks gift cards to be placed in the Welcome Baskets for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Camden, NJ. This year, we collected 86 Starbucks gift cards and had volunteers donate towards the Welcome Baskets and were able to make 25 complete baskets – one for every single room in the Ronald McDonald House! Each basket includes a journal, activity book and pencils for kids, bubbles, candy, lotion, sanitizer spray, and THREE Starbucks gift cards that can be used at the hospital. That is over $700 worth of goodies to be donated. I cannot believe it! The generosity of our volunteers for complete strangers is such a blessing and encouragement. The Lord is so good.
