Foster care provides trash bags to children

"When you are in the foster care system, you don't have a lot of items, like right? Putting it in a black garbage bag, it just makes you feel like you're trash, right? Or that you're not worth anything."

Let's work together to provide kids the dignity and promise of a brighter future.

Entering the foster care system is a traumatic experience for any child. Unfortunately, the message we send them when we provide them with a trash bag to carry their belongings is far from comforting. That's why our mission is to provide every child in foster care with a diaper bag, suitcase, or duffle bag to replace their trash bag. By doing so, we hope to give them back their dignity and let them know that their life is still packed with promise.
