On the weekend of May 25, 2016, our family had a garage sale to raise money for Bags of Hope.  We received many donations and the support of the community was awesome, for which we are grateful. We raised nearly $500 and were able to create about fifty more Bags of Hope.  We delivered these bags to the Anoka County Government Center, and now more newly-placed foster children will be able to go into care with some comfort to soften this hardship on their lives, which will make their transition a little smoother.
