“Sunrise for Senior Citiznes and their Pet Companions Breakfast Bags of Love” 

Feb 6 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am

SHBHU “Breakfast Bags of Love” 
Ambassadors would like to know if y0u can help pack and decorate these breakfast bags for our Senior Citizens in need and their pet compasions in our community.
Did you know that ¼ of Senior Citizens live alone with their pet as their only companion? Animal companionship is proven to be a powerful relationship that prevents depression and loneliness. However, as people age, caring for an animal can become more difficult physically and financially. These bags we call “breakfast bags of love” not only include food to start their day but also include food for their pet companion. When Senior Citizens are looked out for and receive proper nutrition, they can care for their animal companions in the way they deserve.  Each of these bags (and donations for their pet companions) contained a morning meal that hopefully takes a little pressure off these Senior Citizens in need.  This community is often overlooked and often does not want to be a burden. It can be easy to think a Senior Citizen is doing fine when they are not. While a colorful snack bag can’t solve all the problems the elderly are facing, it can put a smile on their face and assure that they are seen and that someone cares for them. If you are interested in helping with this Compassion Mission please contact Ambassador Isabella at
We need donations which you can order at the SHBHU AMAZON wish list link below, you can volunteer to pack and decorate bags in your own home or you can volunteer to deliver the bags to Meals on Wheels when they are completed.  We will be packing all month at home and also hopefully having another Compassion Meeting in February to pack and decorate bags as well.  We also need a Delivery Family to volunteer to bring bags to MOW in Raleigh on February 4th Please contact us if interested at
Check out these sweet “Breakfast Bags of Love” for our Senior Citizens in need that the youth from The Ethos School made for this ongoing Compassion Mission for Meals on Wheels. Thay also took the time to add a special note even INSIDE each beautifully and compassionately decorated bag of love. Great idea! Love our community. Check out their mission here. https://www.theethosschool.org/
Let us know if you would also be able to pack, decoreate or make the delivery in November to the MOW headquarters in Raleigh.
