On any given day in the U.S., roughly 440,000 children are living in the foster care system. Many enter with little more than a small trash bag of clothes.
No child should ever have to use a trash bag as a suitcase, which is why the Glen Echo Group is supporting a local non-profit, Comfort Cases, which believes that every child deserves to pack their belongings in a special bag they can call their own.
Comfort Cases ships backpacks to social service agencies around the U.S. to ensure that kids of all ages have a special bag when entering the system. Each case includes essential toiletries (soap, shampoo, toothpaste) as well as things that will make them feel more comfortable in their new foster homes, including pajamas, a blanket, stuffed animal and a book. Your donation will help buy items for these cases or help ship them to local agencies across the country.
Please join us in supporting our friends at Comfort Cases to ensure there are #NoMoreTrashBags for foster kids. Glen Echo Group will match donations up to $500.
