Special EVENTS

Be The Light, the domestic violence outreach ministry at All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore, is partnering with Bags of Hope—founded by Jasmine Grace, director of the Christ centered nonprofit Beauty from Ashes Ministry (BFAM) in Nashua, NH—to collect items for giveaway bags supporting women impacted by trafficking, prostitution, addiction, and homelessness.

BFAM walks alongside women who have exited the commercial sex trade and are in recovery, providing essential items to survivors who are homeless or in programs and jails across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Each Bag of Hope includes everyday essentials many of us take for granted, along with thoughtful items meant to uplift and remind each woman that she is valued, loved, and supported on her path to healing.

Donations are due Thursday, April 24 by 5 PM and will be delivered to a community event at Wild Tribe Wellness on Saturday, April 25, then distributed by BFAM throughout MA and NH.

ITEMS NEEDED (NEW ONLY):

Shampoo & conditioner (12 oz)
• Bars of soap
• Deodorant
• Toothbrush & toothpaste
• Hair brushes & elastics
• Tampons & pads
• Small packs of baby wipes
• Cute women’s socks
• Nail polish & remover
• $5 Dunkin’ gift cards
• Trail mix & snacks
• Notes of encouragement

Each bag will also include a purple candle of hope in a purple drawstring bag—symbolizing healing, hope, and new beginnings.
