Thank You for Supporting 3B Brae’s Brown Bags This Giving Tuesday

We are incredibly grateful to share that 3B Brae’s Brown Bags has raised $286 so far this Giving Tuesday!
To every person who donated, shared our mission, or took a moment to support our work, thank you. Your generosity helps us continue providing essential items, encouragement, and dignity to individuals facing food insecurity and homelessness.

Every dollar truly makes a difference. Our bags offer healthy snacks, water, resources, and seasonal items like hand warmers during the cold months—small but meaningful supports that remind our neighbors they are seen and cared for.

We’re getting close to our $500 Giving Tuesday goal, and there’s still time to help us get there.
If you haven’t had a chance to give yet and would like to be part of today’s impact, your contribution—no matter the size, helps us continue this mission built on kindness and compassion.

Thank you for believing in 3B and the work we do. Together, we can keep showing up for those who need it most.
Let’s finish strong!

💛 Every act of giving brings hope.

Feeling like a rock star after the Sweet Frog fundraising event

We had a FULL HOUSE last night at Sweet Frog. There were people in every seat and standing. The Sweet Frog mascot came out for awhile and people from all over came to the store to buy frozen yogurt and support Brae’s Brown Bags even though it was super cold outside and we were expecting MORE SNOW! Yes, I have another two-hour delay this morning, so I can write to you!

Last night I really got to see how many people want to help the homeless and be part of a big change. It was so clear to me because so many people asked me questions and told me there were proud of me. Out of all the people who visited I have to say I most enjoyed talking with Senator Bryan Townsend and his fiance Lilianna. They were both really nice and said they are proud of me. They also think I’m really funny. Hahaha.

Senator Townsend asked if I would like to come talk to other officials in Dover, DE sometime soon and I think that would be a lot of fun. I don’t want to tell them what to do or anything I just think sometimes kids have really good ideas. I’m a kid and I made 3B Brae’s Brown Bags and it is helping a lot of people.

It’s like I say, kids don’t really need to find super heroes in comic books, even though that is fun. Kids can be their own super hero!
