The bible sat Hebrews chapter
13 verse 18 says “Keep praying for us,
for we trust we have an honest conscience, as we wish to conduct ourselves
honestly in all things”.
There have been 2 articles written about us recently and
they both call Jessie’s Bags a non-profit organization.
Jessie & I want to clarify - we do not have a non-Profit status.
We don't want to misrepresent who we are....
We
probably should be a non-profit because so far we we have given away more bags than we sell.
For the last 9 years we have been a small group of
volunteers who have been hand making bags and giving most of our bags away to
breast cancer survivors along with a note of encouragement.
Jessie’s Bags have also been given these bags to volunteer
ministers who attend the pioneer service schools. We gave Bags away to Moms who
were at the neonatal unit at Christiana Hospital and some who stayed at the Ronald
McDonald House may have gotten one of Jessie's Bags. Some
of Jessie's bags were given out in PA & DE @ hospitals & to dialysis patients . We visit and give out Jessie's Bags to nursing homes residents, Senior centers, 55+ Communities through out DE and Pennsylvania locations. We left bags at other locations doctors offices, mammogram locations, and some of you may have received our bags from a mastectomy supplier like BFRIN or at a wig store in PA & DE.
In 2014 we started to count how many bags we gave away
and it was 100 a month.
In 2015 we
incorporated and became an LLC.
In 2016- we are hoping to expand our out reach and we need to fund what we are doing by selling some of the bags.....

We will be at the location in Booths Corner Farmers Market mid level till January 2 2016. (where we still give away more bags
than we sell) We will be
leaving this location as of January because we cannot afford the rent. Thanks those who stopped to talk and support us. Thanks to the few people who bought
our bags.Thanks for the donations of fabrics and Jeans that were dropped off.
A new chapter begins in January 2016 we will focus on selling our bags on line where the cost is minimum. We will let you know more about this later... You will also be able to purchase our bags when we visit a location with a Jessie's Bags event. We may try to keep a few bags in Booths Corner at Jeans CO-OP. And you may see us pop up at area Farmers Markets, Follow our adventures in bag making.... as Jessie's bags is on the road...

We just want to set the record straight we have not been making a profit but ...We are not a non-Profit organization.
...maybe we should be called philanthropic
“Keep praying for us, for we trust we have an honest conscience, as we wish to conduct ourselves honestly in all things”.
