What's Bin Happening
Check out what our Bin Babes and partners have been doing.
Easter/Spring Gift Bag Event
We had a special day on March 24th assembling our Easter/Spring Bags for There With Care families. Several new members joined us for the first time: Beth Maxom found us in Stroll magazine, Michelle Richardson found us on NextDoor, and Tracy Emmerick learned about us through our presentation to the Girl Scouts. During the event, we discussed the power of ONE and how several members are true examples of our mission! Dani talked about getting her Diaper Drive at her child’s preschool. Toni spoke about making Bin Blessed, the Girls Scout's Hometown Hero for the year. Sheri shared the story of Bin Babe, Stephanie asked to provide a Mother’s Day gift for all 178 There With Care moms this year. Lastly, Beverly showed off more beautiful quilts in adorable baby patterns created by Bin Babe, Janet. It was such a Special event!! Thanks to all who participated and to those who donated all of the fun items and sweet treats for our Spring-themed bags.
Girl Scout Service Unit 652
Thanks to Bin Babe Toni, and Girl Scout Service Unit 652, Bin Blessed was chosen to be the Hometown Hero for cookie donations this year. Each year the girls choose an organization to receive their cookies that are sold and donated during their big Girl Scout cookie sales. The anticipated number of boxes was 100, and thanks to this incredible group, we received 360 boxes of delicious Girl Scout cookies. These treats will be included in the grocery deliveries to There With Care families. We can see the smile on their faces when they receive the sweet surprise! You are the BEST Toni and Service Unit 652!

For our Second Year in a row Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church Preschool sponsored a two week Diaper Drive following Spring Break. Last year was such a success that the schools Director, Lorna Tamsett contacted us to sponsor the Drive again to help celebrate Spirit Week and the Power of Giving. Thanks for your support Mrs. Lorna!!

Presentations
Girl Scout Leaders Troop 652
Bin Blessed provided a presentation to the Girl Scout Leaders on March 10 at the Castle Pines Library. Troop 652 Leaders learned all about Bin Blessed, There With Care and why the Activity Care bags their Troop will be making are a necessity. One hundred Girl Scouts will be filling these colorful bags full of toys and activity items for critically ill children and their siblings to use while spending long hours in waiting rooms at the hospital. The GirlScout Bin Blessed Activity Bag event will be held on Saturday, April 26th at the Castle Rock Library.
Buffalo Ridge Elementary School
It’s ON! Our very first school, Buffalo Ridge Elementary is BACK! BRE will sponsor a school-wide food drive competition from April 28 - May 2, collecting There With Care’s most needed pantry items. Bin Blessed provided a presentation to this year's 5th grade National Honor Society members on March 6. These students have true ownership of coordinating the event, choosing the items for each grade to collect, promoting the drive and tracking all donations. Bin Blessed will deliver 18 bins to cover every classroom, and the students will deliver the bins and talk about Bin Blessed to their peers about why the Drive is so important for There With Care families. In previous years, every bin was filled, and during their Drive, these students have raised their goal to 1,100 items! Truly Amazing!
Buffalo Ridges's new mascot was donated by a child’s Grandad!!!
Partner Events
Plum Creek Church and Bethany Lutheran Church MomCo's will create these sweet Tea sets on April 16. These groups, which consist of 100 women, will help Bin Blessed meet a new goal this Spring. For the very first time, and thanks to Bin Babe Stephanie’s idea, all 178 There With Care Moms will receive a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. This one is for you, Stephanie!
Thanks to New Day Adventist MomCo, we have more nail sets! One of our first MomCo Partners will support Bin Blessed on April 3 with another event to help us meet our goal of providing Mother’s Day gifts to all 178 Moms served by There With Care.
