VALLEY STATE PRISON CHRISTMAS BAG PROJECT

For the second year Grandmothers Of The Light has launched it’s 4500 Christmas goodie bags project named for the Mary J. Blige song “Good Woman Down” from her Christmas 2005 Breakthrough album. Mary’s beautiful lyrics help to define the deepest feelings of women in prison, the “good women down” who long to hug their kids, and come home and start life anew. These Christmas gift bags are our way of letting the children bless Mom for Christmas.
