No child should enter a new chapter carrying their belongings in a trash bag. Every Journey Bag is a reminder that they are seen, valued, and worthy of dignity.
Every amount maps to exactly what it provides for a child entering foster care.
Secure giving through our donation partner. The Carry Hope Initiative is a 501(c)(3); gifts are tax deductible.
