Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services
Mission: The purpose of Bags of Love is to provide necessities and comfort items to children who are at risk and in crisis due to neglect, abuse, poverty, homelessness or disaster. Through our unique distribution model, we address the immediate needs of these children and help support the community agencies caring for them.
Results: Bags of Love has distributed over 22,000 Bags of Love since its inception in 2008. We currently work with nearly 90 regional agency partners who help us identify local children at risk and in crisis. In 2022 we will provide support to more than 4,300 of our community's most vulnerable children.
Target demographics: Children in Crisis
Direct beneficiaries per year: more than 3,400 Lane County Youth by providing them with Bags of Love
Geographic areas served: Lane County
Programs: Distributing bags of basic necessities to children in crisis. Because children are fragile, especially when removed from their normal lives, a Bag of Love provides a sense of security and hope. The child now has something that is his/her very own to hang onto as a “security blanket,” while simultaneously providing them with age appropriate necessities such as clothing, toiletries, and toys.
