Little Angel Bag Ministry

This ministry delivers over 200 bags on a yearly basis to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Children’s Hospital in Birmingham.  The PICU staff issues the bags to families that live out of the Birmingham area and arrive in an emergency situation or to families that did not have time to make preparations.

The bags include the following items, if available:

Large or small notepads
Ink pen
Emery board
Comb
Kleenex
Snack bags of gum and candy (nothing that will melt)
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Shaving cream
Razor
Deodorant
Shampoo
Conditioner
Lotion
Soap
Mouthwash
Magazines (women’s, men’s, children’s, religious)
Small stuffed animals
Sewing kits
Shower caps

We are blessed that several members of the congregation contribute travel-size toiletries, while we usually purchase the bulk of the toothpaste, mouthwash, shaving cream, and deodorant.

Approximately four bag deliveries per year are made to the Children’s Hospital.
