Alannah & Madeleine Foundation - 

Buddy Bag Drive

MASON’S SCOUTS BADGE PROJECT: BUDDY BAG DRIVE 🧸✨

​Mason is working hard on his Scouts Community Special Interest Area Badge, and he has set an ambitious goal: to collect and supply 10 fully packed Buddy Bags to the Alannah & Madeline Foundation! 💙

​Buddy Bags are given to children entering crisis care to provide them with essential items, comfort, and a sense of security during a vulnerable time.

​🎯 THE GOAL: 10 FILLED BACKPACKS

​(5 Boy Bags & 5 Girl Bags — All items must be BRAND NEW)

​Each sturdy new backpack should be packed with:

👕 Clothing: Pyjamas, socks, and underwear

🪥 Personal Care: Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, face washer, soap, and a travel toiletry bag

🧸 Comfort & Play: A cozy teddy bear, trauma-informed toy, book, small card game (like UNO), and stationery

​Donations of individual items are also welcome to help us complete a bag! Please label filled backpacks with Boy, Girl, or Unisex along with the targeted age group.

​📍 Drop-off Location: Admin Office.

📅 Collection Deadline: 20th November

📧 Contact / Questions: Linda Capretta - linda_macchion2000@yahoo.com

​Every single bag shows a child that they matter and that their community cares about them. 

Help us reach our goal of 10 bags for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation! 🌟
