Who We Are
Welcome to the My Stuff Bags Foundation
Since 1998, we’ve dedicated ourselves to supporting children who must be rescued due to terrible situations of abuse, neglect, domestic violence or homelessness. Often arriving at new, unfamiliar settings with nothing but the clothes on their backs, these children find themselves in dire need of the most basic personal items.
At My Stuff Bags Foundation, we believe every child deserves to feel valued and cared for, especially during their most vulnerable moments. By providing individual duffel bags filled with new, age- and gender-appropriate essentials, we deliver not just physical items, but also a profound message of loving concern and a sense that they are not alone. Through the collective efforts of our donors, volunteers, grantors, and community and corporate partners, we strive to transform moments of despair into experiences of compassion and care.
Reaching Children in a Time of Need
Mission & Impact
Our Mission
The My Stuff Bags Foundation provides new belongings, comfort, and hope to thousands of children each year who must be rescued from abandonment, abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, and neglect across the United States. Tragically, these children often enter foster care or crisis shelters with little to nothing of their own.
By rallying widespread individual, corporate and grantor involvement and the labor force of thousands of volunteers, through our My Stuff Bags Program we address the immediate emotional, physical and psychological needs of rescued children and help support the agencies caring for them.
