 My Stuff Bags Foundation
My Stuff Bags was launched in 1998 to address some of the
immediate physical and emotional needs of children who must be rescued
from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Traumatized by the events
leading to their rescue, these children often enter shelters and foster
care with no belongings. Each individual My Stuff duffel bag is
filled with new donated items, giving children comfort and hope and
letting them know that lots of people care about them. To date,
the nonprofit has donated more than 330,000 bags to children in over
1,100 organizations in 49 states.
