Operation Goody Bag (OGB) has continued honoring those are there in times of emergency, and is collecting goody bags for first responders and hospital workers who helped in the aftermath of the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon.
OGB has a table set up at Hackensack Supply on Route 17, where volunteers can visit and pick up free custom printed goody bags to take home, according to OGB founder and former Paramus school teacher Jane Cosco. From there they can decorate their bags as they see fit,Looking for replica breitling watches?

"We would love people to pick up goody bags, take them home, take them to work or wherever," Cosco said, "have people color them, write little notes on the outside, whatever they want to say to Boston. Those are the bags we want to fill in June."
Volunteers can also write personal letters to Boston first responders using a template that can be downloaded from the OGB website at operationgoodybag.org. The notes will be stuffed in the goody bags along with the treats, and completed notes can be dropped off at Hackensack Supply.
"People are looking for things to do,Shop the latest from Michael Kors Handbags. Totally free shipping and returns. and this is a very easy thing that can be done," Cosco said. "They can download the template, write a personal letter,Shop our selection of designer shoes, including Manolo Blahnik, christian louboutin shoes. and we're going to get it in the hands of someone who was in there, who actually responded. I think it's a good way, very personalized."
To help offset the cost of $5 per goody bag, which covers the filling, boxing and shipping, volunteers have been encouraged to hold fundraisers. Cosco has also asked the community to show its support by wearing blue and yellow, the colors of the Boston Marathon, on May 10.
OGB began the day after 9/11 as a way of helping founder Jane Cosco's class deal with their grief over the attacks. Seeking to give back to first responders, they filled bags with heartfelt letters of thanks and candy. The program has continued to grow, and volunteers pack thousands of bags every year to give to first responders, military personnel and others.
"It began as a way for children to express grief at the time and get through that disaster," Cosco said. "As the year progressed, the children were seeing pictures of first responders at Ground Zero responding every day and not giving up, and it really gave them peace of mind.
"Here we have another disaster, not the same magnitude but certainly it's going to be psychological to the children of the area and the people," Cosco continued. "We want to say thanks to those first responders.We have high quality replica tag heuer watches, you can not miss the best Tag Heuer Replica Watches online. That's what we do."
The group's goody bags have been sent to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and to soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
