Our Mission

From Bags to Belongings is a grassroots effort

We aim to leave a positive, memorable impression on a child receiving luggage. We encourage individuals to be a part of a child’s village by writing a note of love, hope, and encouragement. These particular notes are then placed inside each piece of luggage. Unique luggage tags of love, hope, and encouragement are also included on each piece. The more notes and luggage tags we can make, the more love we get to spread to our youth.

Our History

Helping make trash bags for our foster youth’s belongings a thing of the past.

Since the organization’s inception, we have joined forces with several organizations to help make a positive impact in the community. With the assistance of Children’s Fund of San Bernardino County, we secured a $5,000 donation to purchase luggage for the kids in the foster care system. This partnership resulted in the purchase of nearly 400 suitcases.

Today, through the generosity of individual donors, more than 1,000 suitcases have been donated, and foster care children can shed their dependency on carrying their belongings in trash bags in favor of brand new pieces of luggage.
