Fordham Student Reaches Out to Needy with Blessing Bag Project

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2013

The Tumblr post caught Paulette Thomas’ attention around Thanksgiving. 


“Have you ever come across a homeless individual and felt totally uncomfortable?” it began.  

The post, which has been shared multiple times across the social network, struck a chord with Thomas, a junior majoring in Information Science at Fordham College at Rose Hill.

Inspired by its message of charity and good will, Thomas and five friends will fan out across the city on Dec. 23 to deliver “Blessing Bags” to homeless people they encounter on the street.

Each bag will contain toiletries, snacks, a change of socks, spare change, and other useful items.
