It always encourages us to hear of H2O bags reaching panhandlers through people like you. Hearing stories of how God has used you to bless someone in need makes us so excited! Here is a story from a lady in Portland, who regularly gives out bags, but enjoys a different experience each time.

"I just wanted to share what happened this morning!

On my way to work I found a lady along side the off ramp near Mall 205. She was holding a sign asking for donations. I held out the H2O bag and a hand made stocking cap. Because I was the 2nd car in line, she had to walk a bit to get to me. It was a struggle for her but she made it and smiled a big smile when she saw the bag & cap. She thanked me over and over saying how sweet and thoughtful it was. We exchanged ‘Merry Christmas’ & God bless you’s’. When she got back to her spot she started opening the bag but I had to move before she got into the contents. Again, I prayed for her as I drove away. Oh, and she was wearing a red felt hat with reindeer antlers on it!!!

I look forward to the chances to hand out the H2O bags because I love the responses and the looks in the eyes of the receivers. Thank you for preparing the way to bless others with God’s love."
