Don "Mac" McDonald of the Jackson Ward, Lodi California Stake, has recently completed sewing 1,000 school bags to donate to the LDS Church's humanitarian efforts.
McDonald, who was baptized in 1948 when he was 29, has served in the LDS Church in a variety of callings from Primary to ward clerk. He currently serves as a home teacher.
McDonald has started on the next 1,000, which are a backpack style that some of the Relief Society members have nicknamed "Mac Pacs."
Alene W. Forbes is the humanitarian chairperson in the Jackson Ward, Lodi California Stake.
