Every Spring, the chapter makes camp bags for children attending camp in nearby Julian. Click here to learn more about AJAO camp.

Bag Assembly Event

Making bags is currently not a calendared event. It will be an "impromptu" event, in that will email everyone via list serve in the Spring to confirm interest. From those people who respond, we will organize a group to meet at a time which works for everyone to assemble the bags. If you are interested in being part of the bag assembly group then email info@aoiisandiego.org to let us know!

Bag Donations

The bags are assembled from member donations. The children need items that are fun yet simple to grip/ operate given their limited range due to arthritis. We will collect donations throughout the year. If you have items that you wish to donate, please let us know at info@aoiisandiego.org.

If you wish to donate financially then please use the PayPal link to donate money which will be used to help buy camp bag items. If you wish to write a check and mail it then request a mailing address at info@aoiisandiego.org.
