Backpack Project

An innovative giving project where Back packs are donated to foster or safety parents to have in hand when a child is placed in their care.

We call it "Emergency Stash"

We pack bags to supply the basics for children when arriving at your home unexpectedly.  The contents is as follows:

  • Picture bible
  • Toothbrush and toothpaste
  • Wash cloth and soap
  • Water bottle
  • Soft / calming toy

Our Success

One of our foster families in our community received these care bags right before another child was placed in their care.
