SIMPLE GIFTS

Picture
Have you ever felt the encouragement of a kind word, a heartfelt hug, a note of appreciation, or a thoughtful gift? These are all simple things, and simple things can truly carry a lot of weight. We have yet to meet anyone who did not benefit from a little encouragement.

Simple Gifts exists to encourage the encouragers — those working and serving in our communities in sacrificial ways. Simple Gifts are created from handmade paper containers, which are beautifully decorated (by the season or event) and filled with a little sweet treat. Simple, really, but the encouragement given and the thought behind each gift can be felt and remembered for a long time. It is always a joy to support those who serve others!

Simple Gifts are made especially for/given to groups of:
  • healthcare workers
  • teachers
  • senior living workers
  • church staff
  • non-profit workers
  • emergency services workers

Simple Gifts can also be shared with other individuals in our communities who could benefit from a little encouragement.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

​We would love your help in this effort to share simple encouragement with individuals in our communities! Every gift can make a real difference! You can:
  • join a scheduled “project party” to create gifts together with others
  • help cut / fold / stuff / decorate the standard container designs we currently use and ready them for giving (individually or with a group of your friends)
  • donate funds for the purchase of paper / treats / tools for these gifts
  • recommend a serving group or individual who would benefit from Simple Gifts encouragement ​
