My Nonprofit Reviews

Day 1 Bags has been a continuously strong partner for the Isaiah 117 House in Marion County. Our organization serves as a temporary placement for children entering into the Foster Care system. After being removed from an abusive or neglectful home, children face a short period of waiting before being placed with a family or shelter, and we hold this in-between time with them. Many children come with nothing, and those who do come with items bring them in a dirty bag or even a trash bag. Day 1 Bags provides an opportunity for our children to leave with a new, high-quality duffel bag and a new sense of dignity in their being. We are so grateful that they are willing to partner with us and help change the way Foster Care begins. We have served over 150 children this year already, and every child has been able to leave with a bag thanks to Day 1 Bags!
