Alexandria House Care Packages

Author: Sabira Mohammed, 2023-24 Service Vice-President

From January 26-28th, we had a series of events to make care packages for Alexandria House as part of the winter Service Marathon. Alexandria House aims to provide housing for women and children who are transitioning from emergency shelter to economic stability and permanent housing. The three events consisted of card-making, decorating the paper bags, and assembling the care packages. The completed care packages ultimately contained a card, grooming kit, snacks, feminine products, hand sanitizer, and warm socks.

​My favorite part of the event was assembling the care packages -- it was very satisfying to watch all the different parts come together. While I didn't attend the card making, we had a lot of attendance for that event and from what I understand it was quite fun.
