The club will assemble welcome bags for Embrella, a New Jersey nonprofit that works with children and families involved in foster care and related support services. A welcome bag can provide practical items and a small measure of comfort at a disruptive moment for a child entering a new placement. Club members will learn about Embrella’s work and take part in the hands-on collection effort during the meeting.
