Notes:
As you know, children entering crisis care centers and foster care agencies often arrive with just a few quickly collected belongings, or nothing at all. The My Stuff Bags Foundation launched the My Stuff Bag program to provide “emergency care bags” for these unfortunate children.
Approved crisis care centers and foster care agencies will receive My Stuff Bags for children ranging in age from infant through 16 years. Each individual duffel bag will contain age and gender appropriate essentials and comforts such as:
Toiletries (e.g. toothbrush and toothpaste, comb, brush, soap)
Blanket or quilt
Small stuffed animal
Crayons and coloring book
Water bottle
School supplies
Clothing: tee shirts, sweatshirts, socks, etc.
Other items as appropriate
PLEASE NOTE: My Stuff Bags are “stuffed” by volunteers with thousands of items donated by supporters of the program. As a result, bags often vary in contents. It is essential to the success of the My Stuff Bag program that caregivers examine the contents for appropriateness for individual children.
