Welcome to Buddy Bags.  We hope you find our information helpful and if you are near to Princeton IL, we encourage you to join us for a meeting.  Board meetings are typically held on the second Thursday of every month.  We are updating the calendar and announcement page for event dates and times. 

We also plan a variety of fundraisers and outreach opportunities, so be sure to check back and keep an eye out for our publicity in the community.  If your organization would be interested in a presentation about Buddy Bags or if you have any questions, please contact us, or check out our updated brochure.
