Calling All Creators: Help Us Sew Hope & Celebration!
Each year, Day 1 Bags provides graduating foster youth with special handmade gifts like quilts, zipper pouches, and utility totes—made with love by thousands of volunteers across the country. These personal touches remind each senior that they are seen, celebrated, and supported. These gifts provide keepsakes that last a lifetime.
Our quilts and zipper pouches are used for our upcoming graduating class of youth from foster care. Sign up starts on Labor Day weekend each year.
We also have an all-year-long need for Grab-N-Go totes to supply Rainbow Rooms—emergency resource centers for children in foster care.
Whether you’re a seasoned quilter, love to sew totes, or want to donate fabric, we have a way for you to help.
We invite your Quilt Shop to be part of our meaningful journey. By participating in our annual Day 1 Bags – Project Graduation, you have the opportunity to create a substantial impact. Discover how your shop can contribute and find more details.
Together, We’re Stitching Confidence and Celebration Into Every Graduation Milestone.
GIVE WITH CONFIDENCE
We firmly believe and take stewardship over your financial donations seriously. 92 cents of every dollar donated to the Day 1 Bags goes towards directly serving youth experiencing foster care and at-risk youth.
