Get ready to support and inspire!

First and foremost, thank you

Thank you: First and foremost, thank you so much for participating in the Packs of Inspiration project. NAMI, Capital Clubhouse, and nonprofits across the globe are doing what they do best – caring for people in need within their communities. Now, it’s our chance to support them!

The Goal: To learn about the goals and impact of the nonprofits we’re supporting and to immerse ourselves in situations those experiencing mental health challenges and houselessness go through. We’re also packing hygiene items along with notes of inspiration for those that truly need them.

Instructions

If you are attending a WeHero live event with your team, we will cover all of these instructions during the event! These instructions can act as a resource for you before or after the event.

We work to keep things as simple as possible. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your event coordinator or reach out to “Kai” (WeHero Super Dog) in the lower-right corner of this page.

Preparing your Packs of Inspiration!

Step 1: Decorate your bags

We’ve provided three markers to decorate the outside of your organic cotton bags. Leave words of encouragement, quotes, or draw a picture or design. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Note: The markers do bleed through the bag so please put something on the inside such as a magazine to eliminate any damage to the surface you are working on.
Step 2: Add all the items to each bag

You will be making three kits for this event. The inventory list below states the quantity of each item that needs to go into the provided organic cotton hygiene bags. Please leave the markers out of the bag. They are yours to keep!

Item Number per bag

Shampoo 1

Conditioner 1

Brush 1

Toothbrush 1

Toothpaste 1

Shower Gel 1

Deodorant 1

Lip Balm 1

Tissues 1

Socks 1

Letter 1

Note: If you feel an item is missing, please note it on the inside of the box for the staff. You may have a few extras of some of the items. Please feel free to keep these in the box for the return shipment.
Step 3: Letter writing

Use the provided notepaper to write a letter to your recipients. People that are tackling homelessness love reading words of encouragement, jokes, stories, and they are also curious about the stranger that is creating this act of kindness. Put one completed letter inside each drawstring bag.

Note: This letter is one of the most important parts of your gift. Please take the time to leave sincere thoughts.
Step 4: Re-box and apply the shipping label

Using the original box everything came in, add the completed kits and reseal. Attach the prepaid shipping label and schedule your USPS pickup. You can also drop your box off at your local post office. To schedule your pickup, simply use the following link and follow the steps: weherolabs.com/pick-up/

Note: If the system asks for weight, you can enter 6 pounds and the shipping provider will update the weight automatically.
Step 5: Photo time!

Take a photo of yourself with your completed kits and share the experience with your friends and family. This is an opportunity to spread awareness and share the act of kindness. Be sure to tag WeHero when you post on social media!
