TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Libby Penrod and Lynne Corbett told Second Cup about A Bag For Hope.
The group provides donated fabric and supplies to sewing volunteers who make products that are then sold, and the proceeds are used for homeless children.

- Refurbished the children's library at HOPE.
- Furnished graduation outfits for students, 2016
- Provided special glasses for a child with serious visual impairment, 2016
