I was the lead on a recent service project by the Commission on Volunteers for displaced youth of Utah. We decided to use some service project earmarked money to create a tote for kids between the ages of 11 &16. These kids all have different situations that range from abuse to new adoption which causes a transition. We hoped that with these totes we would help ease this transistion in some small way. The care packages included a personal radio with light, sudoku puzzle book, pencil, pencil sharpener, deck of cards, candy, personal tissues and a college ruled pad of paper wrapped in a trendy IKEA tote bag. We partnered with DPS to disperse on a needs basis. We created 400 totes through the generous donations of IKEA and the Commission on Volunteers itself.
