Bags4kids began in June 2002 with one foster mom deciding she should make a difference in the lives of children all over. Having been a foster parent for 20 years and having adopted five children, LaJuana sees kids come and go with trash bags in hand, or with nothing at all. She gathered together 11 bags that she had at home. She filled them with items she thought might help comfort a child, keep them busy and show them that someone cared. However the most important items she places in the bags are “life books” and photo albums.

LaJuana Moser knows how important these two items are as she was adopted at the age of 3 and finds it very odd there is no pictures of her before her adoption. She was amazed when children would come to her home, having lived elsewhere for years and again she saw that there was “no trace” of where they had been.  

Since bags4kids started in June of 2002, we have passed out hundreds and hundreds of bags and we hope with your help, we can give out thousands more.

We collect different types of bags, duffel bags, diaper bags, backpacks and tote bags. They can be used bags and in good condition. Then we fill them with items that are specific to their age and gender. All items are listed in the donation tab. Many of the items you can find around your own home.

Bags4kids is a non-profit organization and relies (or depends) on your donations. Again we thank you for your support.
