Ep. 26 | Warming Kalispell One Bag at a Time w/ Barbara St. John

This week, we are excited to bring our favorite good news story to life! We welcome Barbara St. John, self-proclaimed "Bag Lady" to Caregiven to tell us more about her journey in keeping Kalispell's homeless warm this winter via donated "bags," or coats that convert into to sleeping bags. We met Barb through rendering services for her daughter, Jenny, at EPAGA Home Care, so it's only fitting that she ends up back here to share her story with us! Join us we explore Barb's life from loving and caring for her daughter with Down Syndrome and becoming "The Bag Lady" to how exactly gifting these bags works and what exciting things are on the horizon for Barb and the community of Kalispell.
