HOW IT WORKS

There are two ways a Bag a Smile can spread a little happiness.
1. GIVE A BAG TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT
Buy a bag. Fill it. Give it.

Fill your bag with things that could help or bring a smile to someone who is homeless or going through a difficult time. For example:
•Food and drinks
•Warm socks
•Toiletries
•A book
•Something sweet
•Anything else you think might help

The bag stays with them.
It becomes a visible symbol that they haven't been forgotten, and a way for others to help too.
When someone sees a Bag a Smile with them, they know they can fill it again with something that might help.
One bag. Many acts of kindness.

2. GIVE A BAG TO A FRIEND
Buy a bag. Fill it. Give it.
Give your Bag a Smile to a friend, neighbour, colleague or someone who could use a little lift.

Fill it with something that will make them smile:A cake for a lonely neighbour
•A book for a friend recovering from illness
•A welcome gift for someone who's just moved to town
•A little treat for someone having a difficult day
•Anything that says "I'm thinking of you."

But that's not where it ends.
Your friend can now fill the bag and pass it on to someone else.
And they can do the same. Then someone else can do the same.
A simple ripple of kindness, one smile at a time.

BUY. FILL. GIVE. REPEAT.
That's how we Bag a Smile.
