The My Stuff Bags Foundation:

Since 1998, the My Stuff Bags Foundation has been addressing the needs of an often forgotten group of American children, those who must leave everything behind when they are rescued from abuse, neglect, abandonment, or homelessness and enter foster care, or who must flee with their mothers to the safety of a battered women’s home. Tragically, these children enter shelters with little more than the clothes on their backs and little hope for their future.

The My Stuff Bags Foundation is the only organization providing rescued children nationwide with new belongings in duffels that they can keep.The My Stuff Bags Foundation provides new belongings, comfort and hope to thousands of children each year who must be rescued from abandonment, abuse, domestic violence, homelessness and neglect across the United States. By rallying widespread individual and corporate involvement through our unique My Stuff Bags program, we address the immediate physical and emotional needs of rescued children, and help support the agencies caring for them.

My Stuff Bags are bright blue individual duffels filled with brand new, age- and gender-appropriate toys, books, a stuffed animal, school supplies, clothing, personal toiletries, and a warm, often hand-made “security” blanket, all theirs to keep. Packed with items they desperately need as they adjust to their new surroundings, My Stuff Bags provide things to do and to hold during this difficult time.

Perhaps most importantly, because most items in a My Stuff Bag are donated by caring people nationwide, and the duffels are packed by a core of loyal volunteers, the children learn that lots of people really do care about them.

The My Stuff Bags Foundation’s ultimate goal is to provide a MyStuffBag filled with new belongings to over 400,000 children each year who escape to emergency shelters or enter foster care with nothing of their own.
