12 Months of Giving- Free or $10 Ideas – World Day of the Sick

I was sick and you looked after me… – Matthew 25:36

February 11th is World Day of the Sick

This special  day was introduced by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses.

Free Giving Ideas:

1. Collect empty milk bags and donate to a group who makes Milk Bag Mats, make the mats yourself, or start a group to make mats! *I will share about this idea in more depth in a soon-to-come blog post! I have enjoyed making mats myself and also with children at summer camp and church.*
2. Click on tabs dedicated to the sick at Greater Good.com. Every click makes a difference 🙂
