My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a part of this organization since it began in 2011. I have had the privilege of witnessing first hand the difference their bags make in the lives of children entering foster care. I specifically remember giving an Adventure Bag to a 9yr old boy who suffered from PTSD due to physical abuse. When I gave him his bag, he looked me in the eyes and ask, "Do you mean this is mine, and noone is going to take it from me?" I reassured him that it was his and for the next year he carried that backpack to and from school. When it was time for him to leave our home, he still had his Adventure Bag.

I have had the honor of serving as the Executive Director of this organization for the past 2 1/2 yrs. I truly believe in our mission and in the staff, volunteers, supporter, donors, and community partners that we have. Our work would not be possible without them.

As a foster parent, I've seen first hand what these bags do for the children that come into foster care. I've seen a 9 yr old little boys world turned up side down, but for a moment when given an Adventure Bag, he has something that's his and no one can take it. Being removed from their home with little or no personal belongings is something children shouldn't have to do, but sometimes it's necessary. These bags offer thrm a sense of security. Thank you Adventure Bags, Inc for all that you do.
