Do you have extra fabric to use up?
Dollar Store Crafts posted very good directions for making a drawstring "loot bag." Or Santa Sack, or whatever you'd like to call it.
The Mennonite Central Committee website also has bag instructions.
Want something to put in them?
If you make a 16 x 22 inch bag, you can fill it with supplies for AIDS care, and take it to an MCC drop-off location.
Smaller bags can be filled with school supplies, health supplies, sewing supplies, or relief supplies (these don't go in a drawstring bag). Receiving blankets can wrap an assortment of baby clothes. New items only, and very specific items as shown on the MCC website: but you can also drop off just some of the supplies, and they will be packaged by volunteers. You also don't have to sew the cloth bags yourself--you can drop things off in a box or a plastic bag. Or if you like to sew, you could just make the empty bags and send those.
Many needs...many ways to help.
