A huge impact

Over 500 children enter the foster care system each day and most of them may be removed from their home with their belongings stuffed in a trash bag. These children have been neglected and often feel like they don’t matter.

A Day 1 Bag provides children entering the foster care system a sense of dignity and hope. How can a “bag” give dignity or hope? We know because each bag is of the highest quality, anyone would be proud to own, and with so much room for their only treasures. Dignity, not trash, is what we believe is needed during their traumatic times.

Why do children in foster care need you?

The only way Day 1 Bags can fulfill these FREE bag requests is through your donations. We will do our best to fulfill EVERY order. However, if there are not enough donations to cover the cost, we will contact you to work with you on an alternative bag or backpack from other non-profits OR we can fundraise for the bags. Your donations are vital to the youth we serve.
