Imagine if you had just been taken from your home, your family and your pets. You are put in the back of a car and are headed for the unknown. You have nothing. No warm hugs to console you, no teddy bear to hang on to and nothing that gives you any comfort. You might be headed for a police station, a social worker’s office or maybe even a Foster home.

At any of these places you would be scared and feel all alone. Maybe you’d even be at one of these places for hours before another stranger took you somewhere else.

And you are only four years old.

This is the reason Bags4Kids was started; to give some kind of comfort to a child who can’t help feeling alone and scared in a very terrifying situation.

We want to give them comfort and something to keep themselves busy, such as crayons, coloring books, writing materials and a reading book. Then when they get to the doorstep of their new home, they will have something that belongs to them. So we add stuffed animals, tooth brushes, hygiene items, toys and a bag to keep their treasures in. It is theirs to keep forever. All bags are a blessing.

We thank you very much for your gracious thoughts, prayers and donations.  And most of all, the children thank you for being there for them when they need it most.

Comfort Bags They Can Keep Forever

When children are removed from their unsafe homes, they travel with trash bags in hand if they have anything. Sadly, the majority have nothing at all. When children must face this crisis alone, Bags4Kids is there to comfort and aid in this frightening transition. We assemble donations into comfort bags and deliver them to police stations and social service offices throughout the area where they are given to the children.
