Something new that TOFW started last year was a Service Project Opportunity- the Possibility Packs Project!
"As a part of our CHOOSE TO BECOME TOUR we will be collecting items for and assembling POSSIBILITY PACKS Saturday. These are similar to a "hygiene" kit, but will include items specialized to give women the opportunity they need to get back on their feet and BECOME their BEST selves. Come prepared to MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 
In order for us to create complete packs for the shelter, please bring BOTH items listed next to the first letter of your last name:
A-D: Body Spray (2-3 oz) AND Luffa or washcloth (travel size)
E-I: Toothbrush (full size) AND Toothpaste (travel size)
J-M: Deodorant (full-size non-aerosol) AND new Ink Pen (1)
N-R: Shower Gel (travel size) AND Small lined notebook (appr. 7” x 5”)
S-Z: Lip Gloss AND Kleenex packet (travel size)
*In order to fit into pack, please bring requested sizes. (If you would like to donate additional items on this list you are welcome to do so)"
We all brought our assigned items and a few extras to donate. Even some of the ladies in our ward that couldn't come wanted to participate. Thanks Amy & Rita! Since I was on the Possibility Pack Team, I made sure that a few ladies came and participted during part of lunch when we put them together. They got to grab a bag and fill it with all kinds of personal care items along with a uplifting note of possibility. It was a special opportunity to participate.
This is Angela (she works for TOFW & was the Emcee for the weekend) with the ladies from the Ready for Success Program:
