Bag Day for Doctors Without Borders Doctors without Borders need our help so they can help people in crisis around the world. These easy-to-make bags are used to hold items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, medications and for the children small toys. They are popular with the kids. Joyce Phillips from Muscatine has taken on this cause and we at Neal s are more than happy to help. Neal s is providing the machines and the space for Joyce to have a sewing day where you can come in and make these bags. Since many of you would like to help, but are unable to come that day, we will be the drop off point for any bags you may like to make at home. Just drop them off at the store by October 31 and we will see that Joyce gets them in time for a local doctor to take them with him. To make 1 bag it only take a piece of fabric 11 X 18 and a piece of 1/4 ribbon or cording 27 long. Whether you can help by making bags at home, or by coming on Bag Day or by donating fabric or 1/4 ribbon or cord for the making of these bags, your help will be greatly appreciated. This year s Bag Day will be Tuesday, September 25 from 10am - 3pm. Come for the day or just over your lunch break. Every minute counts.
