Preparing Bags For The Transition House






































































For about 20 years my coworker Terre has prepared bags of personal care items for clients of the Santa Barbara Transition House each holiday season. The bags contain socks and personal hygiene items such as toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The items are purchased by Terre or are donated by different local companies. This afternoon several coworkers and I helped Terre stuff 18 bags for women and 9 bags for me. It was really neat to see the bags come together and know what a difference these items will make for the people who receive them. It definitely helps get me in the holiday spirit.
